Just curious if anyone has used a Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier on a tin
top Vanagon. I can load my 12 foot kayak inside the van, but have to remove
the front seat to be able to close and lock the rear hatch. Not the best
arrangement, especially when you have a passenger.

Also want to know if when mounted on the right side of the van whether there
is enough clearance to leave the slider open while the rack is lowered to
load or unload the kayak. The Thule website simply says the rack fits the
Vanagon, nothing more....

Thanks!
