Hello Darla, thanks for reaching out. I recommend using a Yakima JetStream bar roof rack on your 2023 Cadillac XT5. The Yakima Crossbars will be compatible with the Thule Hullavator # TH898, and there will be enough overhang on the crossbars to properly support the Hullavator system. The complete roof rack consists of the following parts:
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 60" Long - Qty 2 # Y00429
- SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems - Qty 4 # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 19 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers - Qty 4 # Y00245

Hi Darla, how did the Yakima JetStream roof rack work out with your XT5 and the Hullavator? It sounds like the extra bar length should give good support for loading your kayak. Sharing how it performed could help others setting up a similar system.
