Does this attach to factory ford roof racks? Or do you need aftermarket like a yakima, or thule system?

The simple answer is, it's pretty flexible in attachment. You need to find a place where you can get two (minimum) or three (preferable) bolts into. The back of the awning is long piece of stiff aluminum with two channels in it. Bolts heads go into the channels and slide up and down the length of it. The bolt need something to go through something, anything, to be bolted on. The bolts were too short for my use so I went to ACE Hardware and found longer ones. I had to drill holes into my rack and then just put the bolts through and tightened them down and done. One way to do it is to buy a long piece of aluminum angle iron and attach that to the racks and then the awning to the aluminum angle. It's a very well made and durable awning. After the first few times it's fast and simple to get up and down. Like all awnings, it can't take much wind.

It has recessed tracks that allow a 10mm bolt head to slide the entire length. No mount brackets are included. They do sell a roof rack mounting kit

I had to buy this after I had ordered the roof rack bars. My traverse was not equipped with the rail system. My roof had the plastic rail but I had to add the rail system. Hope this helped.

I chose and use a Thule soft-sides cargo carrier, but you could use their hard shell cargo carriers as well. You have to attach the cargo carrier to the roof rack, of course. Hope this information about what I have done helps.

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

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.

I believe it should. We have a Ford Escape and it fit easily between our rack bars on top. I know it lists the dimenions in the job description and there are dead on accurate. Be sure to think about how you will be mounting it. Do you have a roof rack? It can be mounted without one if necessary. Hope this helps.

I have both a Thule and a Yakama rack on two different cars and put the Roof box on either. On my last SUV I was able to put this Box on the Factory bars.Hope this helps.

Unfortunately not enough information is provided. Exact year and roof mount point is important. If you are set on Yakima, go to there Website and use the fit guide. Thule also offers site guide on their website. I believe that will set you in the correct directiin

The roof box will fit all rack systems; round, square, rectangle, oblong and other shapes will be accommodated. The mounting system may not be as convenient as those on the more expensive boxes, but for the price this box can not be beat. It is actually manufactured by "T". Although lighter in weight than the Yakima box I owned previously, it is just as serviceable. I have gone cross country numerous times without any issues; rain, hail, sleet, snow (blizzard) without any leaks or other issues. Would purchase it again without any hesitation.

Good day, Unfortunately, out of the ten systems we offer, due to the design of your roof, none will be compatible. We do offer additional and specific fits under our Thule line of products. Thanks!

It should. The hardware to attach the roof rack varies by car model, so that it fits the particular curve (or in your case, lack of curve) of the car body and mounting rails (something to think about if you plan to buy another car soon - not saying you should!). The Cube is pretty exotic; but they seem to have the customized hardware for most production models (this is one reason for the cost). And, I would think that a much higher % of Cube owners have roof racks than, say, a Toyota Avalon. The fit on my Ford Focus was tight and secure. You do have to pay close attention to the exact distance behind the windshield (and ahead of the rear rood edge) to place the mounts. Measure twice - very little room for error. It's a good quality product, and I'm glad I spend the extra money.

It should fit with Thule crossbars with the provided adapters. If not, you have specific adapters you can purchase from Yakima (should only cost around 30$). good luck

Only you can answer this question - There are many things to think about (i.e. existing rack/mounts)......The easiest way to know for sure is to go to the thule website and use their FIT GUIDE....it will guide you through your car, and tell you all the different parts/pieces you need.

I have both a Thule bike and kayak rack mounted to my factory cross bars...the kayak rack is not an issue at all...there is a slight lean for the bike but if someone were not to be looking for the lean it wouldn't be noticeable. Also, having seen other crossbars with racks...I think the overall look is better with the factory bars (gear mounted) not to mention they are more aerodynamic...I am completely satisfied and I am an unapologetic perfectionist...hope this helps.

All you will need to do is install the rack system. No modifications needed to the roof to install.

You need a roof rack. If your car doesn't have one pre-installed, you can get one from Yakima, Thule, or other companies that will mount to your door openings without drilling or other permanent alterations to your vehicle's roof line. My car has the Yakima Q Towers and they work well with this carrier.

This roof rack comes with 2 lightweight crossbars and mounts to them. It does not come with the mounts to mount to any specific vehicle. You will need to purchase those separately.
