Will Two Thule Hullavators Fit on Factory Crossbars of 2019 Honda CR-V

Question

Question:

We are looking to purchase 2 Thule hullavators on our 2018 Honda CRV. We have Honda installed roof racks and cross bars. Will that work or do we need different cross bars? Do the Thule cross bars fit with the existing racks? Thank you.

Yes two of the Thule Hullavators part # TH898 will fit on the factory crossbars of your 2019 Honda CR-V if the bars extended past the feet of the rack.

Otherwise you'd have to go with an aftermarket roof rack like the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRCL4, and # RRRCP60-BK.
