Are Thule AeroBlade or WingBar Evo Bars Compatible With Older Thule Hullavator?
Question:
Will the aero bars work with my thule hullavator that is at least 6 years old?
asked by: Martha
Expert Reply:
The Thule AeroBlade bars are being discontinued, but if you already have them they will work with the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs # TH898 (even if it is an older model). That is provided the bars are long enough. The Hullavator needs at least 4-8 inches of crossbar length beyond the feet of your roof rack to ensure clearance on the side of your vehicle when lowered.
If you don't already have the crossbars, I recommend the new Thule WingBar Evo which come in the following lengths:
43" Long - Qty 2 # TH711120
47" Long - Qty 2 # TH711220
53" Long - Qty 2 # TH711420
60" Long - Qty 2 # TH711520

I bought a used/older Hullavator recently for my Evo Wing bars I purchased from you. It seems as though I dont have the right brackets to mount it on those bars? The brackets that came with it are U shaped and meant for square bars and I cannot figure out how to install on the Evo bars.
