Hello Harold. We have found that the Thule Hullavator # TH898 will not work with the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack with Square crossbars. The Hullavator will work with square crossbars, but only the Thule brand. A better roof rack option for your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek is the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL84AR. This uses a 58" long aero bar with a top channel that will allow you to mount the Hullavator without issue.

Hey Harold, how did things turn out with the Malone AirFlow2 roof rack on your Crosstrek? Did it give you the clearance and fit you needed for the Hullavator Pro? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same setup.
