Expert Reply:
The Thule Hullavator Pro - Lift Assist Kayak Carrier # TH898 requires crossbars that have at least 4" of overhang on each side of the roof. You will need to measure from the center of one roof rail to the center of the next roof rail on your 2020 Subaru Crosstrek; if this measurement is less than 50" then you can for sure use Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars # MPG216. The Malone crossbars are 58" long and have a weight capacity of 165lbs. They are low-profile and aerodynamic to reduce noise and vibration; they also feature a T-slot track on top of the crossbars which enables many accessories to be mounted.
This crossbar setup is very economical/cost-effective compared to other crossbars on the market. I have attached demonstration videos for the crossbar and Thule Hullavator for you to check out. I have also linked a photo showing which measurement you need to take on your Crosstrek roof.
