Hardware Needed to Install Older Thule Hullavator Kayak Rack in Thule Aeroblade Bars
Question:
Hi I asked a day ago how to mount my old Hullavator on to the new Thule Rapid System kit 1855 that I bought from you recently. Jameson C. replied promptly and said to get hardware that mounts to channels in the bars but this roof rack bar does not have any channels! and the brackets I used to mount the Hullavator to the previous Yakima round bars on another car do not wrap around the Rapid System Kit 1855. Jameson said the Hullavator is designed to fit Thule Aeroblade bars and Im afraid that is not what I purchased, Car is a 2018 Honda CRV. What can I do, this bar system is supposed to be correct for m car. I sincerely hope you are not going to tell me the old Hullavator cant be used on this bar. Thanks, Nora this is not intended as a criticism of Jameson, Im just trying to solve this dilemma.

Your older style Thule Hullavator is designed to fit Thule Aeroblade bars but it mounts to them in the channels that are on top of the bars and not by wrapping around them. The bolts needed are part # 919061654 which then thread to the square nut # 853-7557 that slides into the top channel of the crossbar.
