Will Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier Work with Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars

Question:

Can the Thule hullavator fit the rhino rack vortex aero crossbars 49”? I have the crossbars attached with rhino rack SRB legs on my 2019 Buick Encore with about 4” overhang on each side.

Yes, as long as you have at least 4 inches of crossbar overhang on each side of your 2019 Buick Encore the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 will work great. The carrier is compatible with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA126B-2.

This is a really nice kayak carrier that will greatly reduce the pain and energy it normally takes to load a kayak onto the roof of your Encore and it can secure 1 kayak that's up to 75 pounds. All the needed tie-down straps are included.

I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out.
