Recommended Roof Rack for 2012 Scion xB to Carry Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier
Question:
Looking for a roof rack for a 2012 Scion xB that fits the Thule Hullivator kayak carrier. Thule no longer makes fit kit 1482. Is there another brand that will work with the Hullivator?

The good news is that the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading # TH898 will fit on most aftermarket and factory roof racks, so there are some options available for your 2012 Scion xB.
I recommend using the Rhino Rack for 2012 Scion xB that uses the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero bars # RRVA137B-2, the Rhino Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA and Fit Kit # DK152. This kit will provide you with a high quality and durable roof rack to fit on the naked roof of your xB that allows you to install the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898. Rhino Rack isn't as well known of a brand as Thule, but their roof racks are comparable in quality and design, plus they're available at a great price.
I've linked a review and installation video of this rack on a similar Scion xB for you to check out.
