Thule is pretty quick to react to new vehicles hitting the market – Here is one solution that connects to the factory hard points in the roof provided by the factory.
Fixed points are becoming more common on a lot of vehicles for a variety of reasons. Only one downside – no adjust-ability. The installation below was done for a customer carrying long kayaks – and it was important to them to have the bars spread further apart than what the fixed points allow. This is one of a handful we’ve done so far – the Thule Tracks are approx 6′ long.
72" Thule Tracks
If you don’t know about Thule Tracks they are installed with blind fasteners from the outside of the vehicle and we install them on most everything! The best part about them – they unlock and are easily removed and re-installed without issue.

Thule Hullavator for Kayaks on Ford Transit
We would be amazed if you haven’t seen the Thule Hullavator as it’s been raved about for years. Thule did an amazing job with this accessory and it was perfect for this Transit Customer with a long kayak they need some lifting assistance with.
