Expert Reply:
The length Thule roof rack crossbars needed to use the Hullavator # TH898 on your 2016 Honda CR-V depends on the type of roof the vehicle has. If your CR-V has the flush side rails that run front to back on the roof then you will need the 47 inch bars # TH712200 as well as foot pack # TH460R, and fit kit # THKIT3118.
If your CR-V has a naked roof with no side rails or crossbars you would need the 53 inch bars # TH712400 along with Evo clamp feet # TH710501, and fit kit # TH145108.
You technically could use the 53 inch bars for either roof style.

Hello, I bought a Thule Hullavator Pro for my Subaru Forester 2018 along with some 60" aeroblade crossbars. The attachment for the aerobars do not fit on the factory installed side bars. Can you tell me how to make this system work? Thank you
