MY 2009 toyota matrix has a naked roof right now, meaning it only has the hooks to latch the factory racks. Can I still install this rack into my car?

Yes, the product title and one of the responses is confusing, but this is actually a complete kit. It will come with the side rails that you see in the picture that run front to back, and the cross bars that run left to right. It also includes the mounting hardware and the tool to install. You will not need any additional parts for this to work as a roof rack.

I'm sorry I don't know...I asked my son who has the rack, but he is using it on their Toyota mini van.

My stock roof rack was about 3 inches wide and they would not fit width wise.They would have going the other way but racks would have been going across the width of the car so my answer in brief is....No

I don't know specifically, but if you got to the Yakima sight it will give you the cars that it is compatible with. I have a Matrix hatch back 2003, and it fits just fine. It connects from the top of hatch, then two at the bottom, and then one for each side. So there are 4 adjustable straps, and the rack its self can be adjusted for the angle depending on the curve of you car. It will not go over a spare tire!Hope this was helpful.

No. The mounting position is fixed. Look at your roof. You will see the mount covers you have to remove. Be careful as you can break the locking tabs on the covers as I did. If you can find out how to do it or have the dealership remove them without breaking them, that would be my recommendation.

Hi George, this product is designed for vehicles with a naked roof only. To find a crossbar solution for your vehicle, please visit the Thule buyers guide to see all the options we have available. Thanks!

I own a 08 pilot but I think the roof racks are the same. I actually called the manfacturer and talked to directly. Started with an email and got their phone number. They would be able to answer your question for sure. It was made with great quality. Enjoy, ck

Yes, this attaches to the cross bars on an existing roof rack, but what I love about this system is that it works just fine on factory racks, no need to buy an aftermarket one. They do make a system that does not require a rack, it is simply foam pads you put directly on the roof with straps and tie downs. Just a thought if you don't have a rack and don't want to buy one.

I used mine on my Toyota Sienna which had the rack and two cross bars. We spaced the cross bars just enough so the carrier would fit just inside and laid it directly onto the roof surface. The clips attached to all four sides of the rails/racks. Unfortunately, we returned it as it didn't even make it the whole trip. We used ours in the summer and the zipper tabs completely broke even though we had them locked together.

Sure. The rack bases are engineered for specific years and model. You order the specific one for your car. I took my time and the install took less than an hour. It can be removed with no indication it was ever there. Re-install less than 10. Rock solid on the car.

As long as the load bars on the roof of the Toyota Tacoma do not exceed the length of the basket, it should fit fine. The mounting brackets that clamp down on the load bars are adjustable throughout the length of the entire basket. There is A LOT of room to give for the brackets. Given the shape of the mounting brackets, flat (aero) load bars would work better than round (cylindrical) load bars; both would work regardless.

Good day, for this particular model, it attaches to naked roofs, with no existing racks or rails. We do offer the SR1009 to attach to raised factory rails. We recommend using our fit guide to determine what will work with your vehicle. Thank you and have a great day!

Yes, but not sure if per Thule/Yakima. I have the Toyota factory roof rack, they are kept in stowed position/side rails, then I mounted Yakima mounts w/ crossbars (purchased used) so not sure if these were designed for it. They barely bite around the factory rail, but do work. You will need to measure the diameter to see. Similar to the Thule Crossroad or Yakima Railgrab. It was annoying to find the factory rails when are too big (wide oval/elliptical shape) for most Thule/Yakima Accessories, like my upright bike racks. All is well now with the Yakima crossbars.

Not sure I had a roof rack I put on my car, they have a non slip pad for this.

I don't think so. In fact, my roof rack that is on my 2010 Hyundai wouldn't work and I didn't find out until months later when I went to install it, I had trouble. I didn't use it and wanted to return it but there was going to be restocking fees, etc. It doesn't have long enough straps to use on the top of the car. Find another type.
