Question:
Hi There! I have an older version of Thule Hullavator 897XT that Im trying to install on Thule Wingbar Evo bars. Will the TH56JV work for the setup or should I use the TH24BH instead. Thank you for your help in advance!

Hey Darek,
Since you have the older 897XT version of the Thule Hullavator # TH898 you would need the Replacement Aeroblade Shim # TH56JV. I've attached a picture below showing how the adapter should sit between the Hullavator and square nut that will slip into the channel of the crossbar.

Hey Darek, how did the fit go using the Aeroblade Shim with your older Hullavator on the Wingbar Evo bars? Your update could make it easier for others working with the same setup.
