I checked on the dimensions and the Rhino Vortex Aero Bar Roof Rack for your 2015 Toyota Highlander with flush mounted rails should work with the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier, Item # TH898. You will need to check and make sure you have sufficient clearance between your vehicle and the Hullavator when it is lowered which means your crossbars on the Hullavator loading side must extend 4 inches to 8 inches beyond the feet (see picture). You will also need to check and make sure that the crossbars do not extend past the side mirrors.

The parts you need for Rhino-Rack roof rack are # RRVA137B-2, RRRCH4, and # RRRCP31-BK.
