Roof Rack Recommendation for 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee to Fit with Thule Hullavator Pro Carrier
Question:
I currently have the # RRRVP27 with J-Racks. What would I need to be able to use the Thule Hullavator? I have factory installed flush rails that run front to back.

Thanks for the info!
Since your Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack # RRRVP27 has crossbars which end in the feet we need to get you a roof rack that has overhanging crossbars on your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee in order for you to fit the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898. For this I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack setup as it's easy to use and setup plus it has a dual rubber insert for the top channel so you don't have to trim the rubber insert to install an accessory, like the Hullavator Pro, in the track system.
53" WingBar Evo Crossbars - # TH711420
Evo Fixpoint Feet - # TH49SC
Fit Kit - # TH53ZE
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional)
One of the perks of using all Thule products is that the Hullavator Pro can be locked too if you add lock cores. So the lock core kit I mentioned above is just for the roof rack but if you want matching lock cores for the roof rack and Hullavator Pro you can use part # TH450600 instead which comes with 6 cores.
Attached are some videos for you to check out.
