Question:
I have a hullavator that is 10 years old. The pads that the kayaks sit on is getting old and is shedding guey black stuff on my boats. Is there a replacement for them, or do I need to replace the entire arm?

Hi Jay; to replace those you will need the Replacement Cradle Assembly for Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier - Bottom # 7521772001 and Top # 7521771001. Thule only offers the complete cradle assembly. If you're going to replace all of them you might want to consider upgrading to the # TH898, especially if you have the model that is limited to square crossbars.
