Can Thule Hullavator be Left in Lowered Position

Question

Question:

With Hullavator’s open cradles, my car can not enter my garage. But after unloading, I can keep both cradles in lowered vertical positions and move my car into garage. My question is whether I can keep both cradles in this position for a long period time several day? I am not able to put cradles back into their original flat horizontal on crossbars position due to low garage ceiling. Is there a concern that keeping cradles on the side of my car while in lowered loading / unloading position would put too much pressure on the springs?

There's no time limit for having the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 in the lower position. If you wanted to leave them down so that you could keep the rack installed while the vehicle is parked that would be fine.

The brackets on the Thule Hullavator 897 and the Thule Hullavator 897XT are not the same. The first generation Hullavator was designed to only work with Thule square bars, so it will not work with your Thule WingBar Evo. The updated model, 897XT, was…
