Replacement Thule Kayak Carrier To Replace Older Thule Hullavator For Malone AirFlow2 Crossbars
Question:
So I have an existing Thule Hullavator 897XT. I ordered the the Malone Airflow2 based on a anothers question and Etrailer tech response. What other parts are needed? I asked and was given only the Aeroblad shims # 852339001 as my new set up. Ordered. Nope, Im still not there. What other parts are needed, please? The complete list please as even the old carriage bolts from the square bar set up do not work/fit in the new hole placement.as Im pulling up the old manual for the XT, it looks like a lot of discontinued/cross overs and Im lost and frustrated.

Expert Reply:
The Thule Hullavator - Easy Loading (Strut Assisted) Rooftop Kayak Carrier System TH897XT that you mentioned is actually not compatible with the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails # MPG215, unfortunately.
This is an older version of # TH898 that only works with Thule standard, Rapid Aero, AeroBlade, Xsporter and Yakima load bars.
I know it's not what you wanted to do, but I recommend using the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs # TH898 instead as it is a universal kayak carrier that will work great with your Malone AirFlow2 bars.
