How to Fit Hull-A-Port and Canyon XT Carriers on Roof of 2018 Subaru Crosstrek
Question:
I have a Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49 inch x 40 inch x 6 inch on my 2018 Crosstrek. can I add Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style and leave the Cargo basket on? or is there any Kayak/sup rack that can be used in conjunction with the basket?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs # TH834 takes up about 7-1/2" at the base before it starts raising up. If you have at least that much room on the crossbars of your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT installed then you should be good to go.
If it's going to be pretty close or you don't have that much room then you can swap out your current bars for the 58" Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 which should give you more than enough space. You can also make it easier on yourself by using the Watersports Adapter # THXADAPT11 to mount the Hull-A-Port to your roof rack using the T-Slots.
