Hello Christine, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Thule DockGlide Kayak Roof Rack # TH896 will indeed fit the aftermarket crossbars on your 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. The DockGlide comes with universal clamps that can mount to virtually any shape or size crossbar up to 4" wide and 1-1/2" tall. This includes Round, square, aero and elliptical bars. This covers virtually every factory or aftermarket crossbar and will undoubtedly work with a 2-1/2" wide bar. It does not require a T-channel.
I hope this helps. Hit the reply button with any other questions and I am happy to assist.
