Does this attache to the side rails on an SUV that run lengthwise on the vehicle. Do I need to buy bars that go across the top of the vehicle horizont

You will need cross bars in order to carry boards or kayaks on the Inno rack. It is a tie down mechanism, not a carrier.

Yes as others have said. I have bought them from Spec-D Tuning-80$ and Sport Rack-150$ (which is made by Thule).

My SUV came with the roof racks already installed. The cross bars were extra and thats what I purchased from Amazon and installed them myself.

The only model that comes with roof rails (the base to which you attach the cross bars) already installed are the CR-V EX-L (Leather) and EX-L Navi. Got leather? You have the side rails. No leather? No side rails. The dealer wanted $850 to install the rails and crossbars on a 2014 CR-V with cloth seats. Amazon is much cheaper, but you will have to attach the side rails to the car yourself or pay a garage or body shop to do it. I just ordered the crossbars to go on my EX-L that already has the rails. Amazon saved me over $500!

Yes, that is true. Same on my 2013 Sportwagon. Even though they do extend beyond the rails they are still within the total width of the vehicle. It doesn't seem to be an issue.

It's meant to clamp on to your existing roof rack. I had a Yakima rack (2 bars going across) and this attached easily to it. It is of high quality, very sturdy. I'm very happy with it. You'd have to ask someone else though about it working with yours. Jeff H

No, you will need to remove the rock rails to install the side bars/nerf bars.

If you go to the Yakima Fit Guide on their website you can enter your vehicle specifics. In your case you will find that the answer is yes. You need crossbars, either factory or aftermarket...

If those crossbars are adjustable I would say yes. I mounted this on my toyota 4runner and my factory rails are adjustable. What is this going on and I can help you out a lot better.

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.

If I am understanding your question correctly, I would say NO. Crossbars are just that and cross the top of the vehicle. They attach to the parallel bars on the sides. In other words, you actually need two sets of bars.We recently upgraded vehicles to a Honda Pilot which came with the parallel bars. We had the dealership install the crossbars. Hope this helps.

When we went on our last vacation, I was borrowing my father-in-laws Thule soft luggage bag that rides on top of the vehicle. I thought you needed crossbars for that, but you don't, it only attaches to the roof rails. You only need the crossbars for the hard rigid luggage containers. That is the only thing I can see them for.

These cross bars require the vehicle has longitudinal bars (I.e along the length of the roof). They will not work on a vehicle without these longitudinal bars. If vehicle does not have bars you will need cross bars which hold onto roof via "clips" that hold onto gutters or the area at top of where doors close.

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.

It is just the two cross bars. My Subaru Crosstrek already had the sidebars.

Yes it comes with side rails. It took me about 25 minutes for the whole install.

There are fixed mounting points on the SUV itself, so the bars can only be attached there. Don't know if that means your existing cargo box is unusable however.
