My only question would be, it says it wants centre to centre at 24”. Current position is like 29”. Can I move my roof racks to adjust to that? Since they were designed to be at the specific location. One is sitting higher than the other as well.

Hello. The minimum crossbar spacing for the Hull-a-Port is 24 inches, 29 inch spacing is also suitable. Depending on the rack type, eg: clamp-on roof racks, they should not be changed from the original position outlined in the vehicle fit kit instructions. The carriers do not need to be level to properly support the kayak. Thanks!

I wonder if this will fit on the 2023 Subaru outback original rackbar? Or is that bar not wide enough, to thin? Thanks for the overview👍🏼

Hello. Yes, the rubberized stainless steel band will provide a secure fit to the Subaru factory crossbars. Thanks!

Hello. See section eight and nine of the instruction manual which has step by step illustrations showing the correct method to set up the bow and stern tie downs: www.thule.com/-/s/approved/std.lang.all/85/58/1198558.pdf?rev=2.2 Thanks!

hello, thank you for this video. Do you know if this rack is compatible with a 5th gen 4runner factory crossbar? I was told that the thule Aero j rack isn't compatible but this one might work. Can you please verify that? Thanks again.

Hello. Thule does not support the fit on factory crossbars, we checked Yakima's options and they do not recommend kayak carrier on the factory bars either. We'd have to suggest considering a Yakima or Thule roof rack in order to use their kayak carriers. Here are the options: www.rackattack.com/fit/toyota/4runner/2021/5_door/?vyid=8371
