Roof Rack For 2016 Honda Pilot For Two Thule Hullavators

Question

Question:

What roof rack system do I need for a Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and a Yakima Showdown for a 2016 Honda Pilot? Im going to have them side by side. I have factory cross bars currently. I tried to download a couple of pictures but it was unsuccessful.

I am going to assume your 2016 Honda Pilot has flush side rails and that you can remove your factory roof rack, and if so there is a way to use a pair of the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898, but the ShowDown is far too wide to put on next to the Hullavator. If you're okay using a pair of Hullavators, the roof rack you need for your '16 Pilot is the following, from Yakima:

- Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426

- SkyLine Towers # Y53TR

- Landing Pad 19 # Y00245

You can lock the roof rack to your Honda with the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204 and lock the Hullavators with the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400.
