Great product, needs updating

Works great for middle aged wife to load & unload kayak alone. The arms stick way up & car won't fit in garage. Take them off & it has a ton of wind noise. Why not make the arms fold down? Great idea, but they stopped short of thinking it all through.

The Thule Hullavator Pro has made it possible to use my kayaks again, I could not load them onto or get them off my Rav4 myself now I can load them with ease! Love getting out and kayaking again , when I want to go !

Best kayak roof loading system out there, but...

I like this system but the tie down just to top of j-bars is not secure even with bow and stern lines, and with channel attachment to Hullavator, there are only two small bolts holding it to actual cross bar. There needs to be a clamp from base of Hullavator to Flat blade cross bar and not just rely on the two bolts. I add another strap that goes over boat and wraps around the actual bar so the entire boat, Hullavator, and bar are secured together as it would be with a J-bar. This fixes the weakest point of this system with the channel attachment to flat bars. Thule needs to fix this as i see a boat blowing off the car if the wind sheers these pretty small bolts and it will happen.
