Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Volvo XC60 to Carry Thule Hullavator
Question:
Hello- I have a 2017 Volvo XC60- I am interested in buying the Thulechullavator pro rack for my kayak. I currently don’t have a roof rack. Which roof rack would be compatible with this? Thx!

Expert Reply:
To install the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 on the roof of your 2017 Volvo XC60 will require a roof rack that has bars that hang past the feet of the rack at least 4 inches. For that Thule recommends the WingBar Evo Roof Rack part # TH711200, # TH710601, and # TH186015 which gives you a set of crossbars that are aerodynamically shaped which allows for minimal wind noise and also a very secure base for the Hullavator to install.
