If you want to use a roof mounted accessory like a cargo basket or roof mounted bicycle carriers, you first need a set of crossbars.

So how do you know which crossbar will work for your vehicle?

  • The first thing to determine is if you have side rails on your vehicle.
  • If you do not have side rails, you need our Universal Car Top Bar Carrier with self supporting feet.
  • If you have side rails, there are four measurements to determine which of our crossbars will work for your vehicle.
  • Compare your measurements to the table below to see which crossbar item # will work for your vehicle.
