Will Thule Hull-A-Port J-Style Rooftop Kayak Carrier # TH834 Fit Rhino Rack Aero Crossbars

Question:

Hi, I have a Rhino Rack cross bar system aero bars for my car. Do you know if the Thule Kayak Cradle will fit? It is a much cheaper option since Rhinos Kayak racks are twice the price of Thules! Thank you!

I took a trip out to our warehouse to see if the Thule Hull-A-Port J-Style Rooftop Kayak Carrier, # TH834, will fit Rhino Rack aero crossbars. After performing a quick test fit, I found that the mounting hardware for the Thule kayak carrier will not work with the Rhino Rack crossbars however I do have a solution. Take a look at the Swagman Contour Rooftop Kayak Carrier System with Tie-Downs, # S65148. This carrier is similar in style and price and will work with your crossbars.

I have included a short video for you as well as a picture of the Swagman carrier installed on a Rhino Rack aero crossbar.
