I have a Honda Pilot with side roof racks. Would the 11cu ft work? Is it really necessary to clip the straps through the windows when I have side roof racks?

It works great on my Rav-4. Read the directions. Use a heavy-duty non-slip pad (read customer reviews, some pads are flimsy and slippery when wet) and strap it to your side rails. You can also add a cargo net, but it shouldn't be necessary. Mine hasn't slipped or leaked. I'm glad I bought the newest version this Spring instead of the older one that I could have had shipped free as a Prime customer. It isn't just water resistant; so far, it's completely waterproof.

Yes it would work. No need to put through the Windows also take into consideration the weight of the transport for the safety of your racks.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it would be okay to. I believe it has instructions for roof rack use. I think as long as you cross the straps it should be fine. I have a 328is coupe and it worked great as long as you load heavy to the front. Hope this helps

I didn't have a roof rack on my car, it was necessary to put the straps through the windows. The directions stated if I had a roof rack it wouldn't be necessary put them through the window? As for the cubic feet not sure?

Hi Meredith, I carried it on a Mustang which has a very small roof. It extended about two inches front and back, but that was no problem. Consider this though -- I drove for twelve (12) hours, loaded to the gills, and my eight cylinder and transmission were very hot.

I believe the side rails you are referring to are the rails that run the length of the roof. Those rails usually come standard on the LTZ model. Make sure the metal inserts are in the rails that are there now. If not, you'll have to purchase those. If they are there, then this set of cross rails will work.

I am using them with a 2002 Acura MDX wth factory roof racks. Since both are Honda products i would expect them to work. By the way they work great

You have to have something to secure it to. My Honda Odyssey had two roof rails and it was fine

I am thinking of trying it. The part number on the Honda Website is exactly the same as this one. http://www.hondapartsoverstock.com/p/Honda__/RAIL--ROOF-RACK/50627537/08L02-TK8-100.html?partner=googlebase_adwords&kwd;=∨igin=pla

The roof rack allows you to securely haul even more items on your Honda. It is installed into preset studs for seamless integration, so no drilling is required. The heat-treated aluminum crossbars, side rails and glass-filled nylon supports provide a lightweight and strong rack design. The rack can be used with the following current attachments: Bike Attachment, Kayak Attachment, Luggage Basket, Short Roof Box, Ski Attachment, Snowboard Attachment and Surfboard Attachment.

I own a 2013 Traverse and I purchased the T-Slot Roof Rails but I was not able to use them because my Traverse did not have the proper side bars. I believe the side vertical bars are called c-channels, if your Traverse doesn't have them then the T- Slot roof rails are obsolete. Unfortunately, I spent $200 on the Roof Rails and they are sitting in my garage.

Yeah. It'll work. Bought this rack and put it on a similar suv that had a small spoiler above rear window and it works well without the straps rubbing on the spoiler or anything. I was worried that the clips to secure the top of the rack wouldn't seat into the top of the rear door jamb because of the spoiler but the rack came with adapters that allow you to connect the straps to the rear of your roof rack.

The U-bolts fit under your cars rooftop cross bars and the wheel clamps attach to the tire rails. Make sure all bolts are secure. Raise the wheel clamps over the front tires (only) and close down the wheel clamp securely. I've used mine a couple of times with two bikes on the roof of my SUV and will be doing it again in two weeks for a 13 mile ride around the Cades Cove Loop in GSMNP. You don't have to be an engineer to figure this one out, it all fits together nicely, is very light weight and our two bikes have traveled up there at 70-80 mph without problems. Good luck, have fun.

If the supports can sit flat on the roof as close to the edge as possible and be within the 44 and 60 inch range then it should work. The supports are about 3" x 5". Each rack is held down by a strap from each end you secure inside the vehicle so they have to mount over the doors.

I had a body shop install the roof rack. The directions from Honda actually recommend that the install be done by professionals.

For this you are going to need to measure the how high the glass goes when the roof it's fully open, and compare with the specifications provided for the roof rack.I personally think it will.The problem is what other products are you going to attach to the roof rackFor instance, the bike rack is have now won't clear.Good luck and let other one now if possible.

Hi,I carried an aluminum canoe on my 5 door golf using this rack once, so I think your kayak would be just fine. You'd need straps to tie down to the frame of your car though, obviously. This rack pretty much just serves as an offset so the kayak isn't riding right on the roof. I think if you wanted to secure the kayak without using rope etc. you'd have to find some special connection in addition to this rack.

I used it all last summer and transported it like you suggest, righside up. I have an Ocean kayak tandem sit on top kayak. There is no way I could transport on its side. It works great. Because my kayak is larger than most I have to use different straps than what came with the kit. Another thing to know is that it is designed to mount on after market crossbars not factory roof racks. I modified the mounts with u bolts to fit on my Jeep Commander roof rack.

I believe it will fit just fine. We had it on the top of my daughters Honda Fit with the straps through the windows. With the roof rack it will be easy to secure to the rails.

My Honda Pilot has a sunroof but the RoofBag sits further back. I think the directions tell you it should sit like a thrid of the way back on your roof. Just so you know, it does reduce gas mileage.
