How to Install Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier on Roof of 2018 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid with Factory Bars
Question:
Hi - I have a new 2018 Rav4 Hybrid and I want to buy the Hullavator Pro lift assist kayak rack. I have the factory installed roof rack and cross bars. Will the Hullavator fit them?

Expert Reply:
You can install a Thule Hullavator part # TH898 on the roof of your 2018 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid but to do so will require you to also install a Thule roof rack like the square bar kit part numbers # TH712400, # TH710401 since the Hullavator requires aftermarket bars that hang over the feet of the rack to install.
