We do have a Thule roof rack that will fit your 2012 Honda Pilot, and will work with your Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier # TH834. You can choose from either aero bars, which are quieter, or square bars, which have the benefit of being more economical.
For either option, here is what you will need to fit a Thule roof rack on your 2012 Honda Pilot with a naked roof.
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520 (Black) OR # TH711500 (Silver)
OR
- Thule SquareBar Crossbars # TH712500
- Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH145191
- Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400 (Optional)
I recommend going with the WingBar Evo crossbars because they are going to be much quieter and give you a more pleasant ride at all times. Most people who go with the square crossbars wind up going with a wind fairing like # TH22WV, which mitigates the cost savings the square bars give you. To mount the Hull-A-Port to the WingBar Evo bars you will need Adapter # THXADAPT11.
I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.
