Load Assisst Kayak Carrier for 2011 Toyota Highlander
Question:
I have a 2011 Toyota Highlander that is equipped with a standard factory roof rack and crossbars. What do I have to do to install the Hullavator on my vehicle. Will I have to remove or alter the existing factory roof rack or cross bars or will work with the Hullavator?

Expert Reply:
I checked with Thule and the Hullavator # TH898 does not work with your 2011 Toyota Highlander's factory roof rack. What you need to do is remove the factory roof rack, which will essentially just give you raised side rails on your Highlander.
You can then install the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG215 roof rack on your Toyota, which will give you a rack that alllows you to use the Hullavator.
