Expert Reply:
Thule states that in order to mount the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 onto your roof, the roof rack must have a weight capacity of at least 130lbs, the crossbars must be mounted at least 24" apart, and the crossbars must extend past the the feet/towers at least 4" on each side for clearance purposes. It looks like your Rola Extreme Crossbars meet all these requirements, but you will want to verify if you have at least 4" of overhang on each side of the crossbar.
The Thule Hullavator will simply clamp onto the crossbars and allow you to easily load your kayak by yourself. Since this is such a nice system, I recommend using Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 2 # TH450200 to secure it to your roof. I attached a couple demonstration videos that you can check out.
