Question:
Please tell me if I can use the standard factory crossbars and mouth the Hullavator.

Expert Reply:
The Thule Hullavator part # TH898 that you referenced can only be installed on Thule roof racks. I spoke to my contact at Thule to confirm this. This carrier puts a great deal of torque on roof racks. Thule has only confirmed that their racks are strong enough for this.
You will first need to install the Thule Aeroblade Edge Roof Rack part # TH7502-TH7503 on your 2006 Honda Odyssey and then you will be able to install the Hullavator.
