Will these cross bars fit my 2005 Ford Explorer with Factory Rails?

Yes, that's the same set up as my 2005 explorer, factory side rails. They installed very easy and easy to read instructions .

Yes, that was exactly my situation. They fit great and easy to install on my 2005 Explorer with factory rails! I use it for my 10' 6" paddle board, works great!

Yes. They fit mine like a glove. They are truly OEM bars and just slipped smoothly up the back of my rails. You might check your rails to make sure they have the groove but I don't think there is any different types of rails for the 05 explorers. By the way, they're terrific and a great value compared to something like Thule or Yakima and hold either of those type of roof carriers with ease.

Only the cross bars are included. There is another crossbar set that doesn't require rails, E361SFJ000.

It will fit your 05 Explorer but if you have an amp/sub I believe there is a separate smaller harness for that. Take a look at this other Scosche harness kit Scosche Radio Wiring Harness for 2003 - Up Select Ford Harness for Audiophile Sound Systems if that's the case.

Not 100%, but judging from the pics I've seen of them (and vague rememberance of seeing them in person) I want to say yes. If your crossbars are wide and kind of flat these will more than likely fit. My 01 Escape has wide, flat bars and I was worried but they ended up fitting great.

I bought them to fit my 2010 Nissan Murano SL factory rack. The crossbars fit perfectly, and installed simply. The crossbars measure 41 inches. I am not sure of the company that made them. I bought them in June, and installed them so that I could mount a car top carrier. I was totally pleased.

If your cross bars are less than 3 to 3.5 inches wide it will fit without modification. If they are wider than 3.5 inches you will have to make new brackets to attach to the cross bar. I used 1 inch wide flat bar steel and 2 inch long bolts to mount it to my coross bars. Total cost was about $30.00 and took about 3 hours to fabricate.

Should work no problem but you need the rail inserts Ray mentioned. Cross bars warked great after I bought the inserts.

You need the rails to be able to install the cross bars. If you don't have the rails you will need to investigate an aftermarket luggage rack that utilizes tie-down straps that hook in the door frame.

The standard (base) package on the Forrester doesn't include rails. If that's your situation, you have to install a "Crossbar Set - Fixed" (dealer order # E3610SG500) that will take the place of these aero bars.

I fairly certain they will. They are, no kidding, factory hyundai crossbars and pretty simple to install.

With two bolts on each side. Your existing rails should have the factory holes in place.

My advice is to call a dealer and ask if they are the same as the crossbars for a Forester. If their answer is yes, thank them and order online. Easy to install.

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.

I would not believe that they are as the side rails on the forester are not movable and the outbacks are. The answer to this question would also seem to indicate that this is true I am not sure that you need the cross bars.

I can't speak specifically to your vehicle, however I will say that I'm pretty sure the 2011 rails are identical to the 2014, so I think these bars *should* fit. The 2011 has factory rails that also sit flat or flush on top of the vehicle, providing a channel for these cross bars to drop in and lock to.

As long as you have the stock roof rails to attach the cross bars to, you should be good to go! There is no difference in body style for the various trim levels

I bought them for my 1998 Ford Explorer and they fit and looked great. I called the parts department at the Ford dealership where I live to get the correct item/model number before ordering.
