Will Thule Hullavator Work With Thule AeroBlade Edge
Question:
Can you please tell me if the Thule Hullavator 897XT is compatible with the Thule Aeroblade Edge 7601 Bars? I just ordered the entire Aeroblade rack mount system, and wonder if that older Hullavator would be able to mount directly onto my newer bars without any additional parts/adapters. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
Since the Thule AeroBlade Edge # TH7601 system does not have any overhang at the footpack the older Thule Hullavator 897XT and the current Hullavator # TH898 will not work with your roof rack.
A load assist option is the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist # MPG114MD-351XL. This is a J-Style carrier that includes load assist arms to help you get your kayak loaded. The one drawback to this setup is you need to store the load assist arms in your vehicle when not in use.
