Can it be put on a car roof rack?

Probably with great difficulty. It would take at least four people to lift it up there and center it. And then to install enough shims to account for its curvature so that it would be fully supported. Not something you'd want to do often. Shoving it right side up into the back of a pickup truck, as I do, is easy by contrast. So I use mine a lot.

I would say no. It is too heavy and bulky. It would take at least 2 strong people more likely 3 or 4 to lift it as high as a car top with a rack. The rack would need to be wide enough to hold it and strong enough and the car manufacturer's weight limits would need to be followed.

It's possible, but you won't be doing that too many times. You will need at least two people to load it on a roof rack. I have a small trailer that works just fine....and no heavy lifting.

It can and I have done it many times. However, it travels best upside-down and then it is wider than most car roof racks. So widening the roof rack with wood or something may be necessary. It is an excellent car topper for travel because it stays put. BTW it is a bit tough with just one person but there again, I have done it.

No, you don't need racks for this. Our vehicle has racks on it, but there are straps and hooks to secure the Roofbag to your vehicle if it doesn't have racks.

Yes, this basket is more designed for roof bars that go from driver to passenger side rather that bars that run from front to rear anyways. I used the basket on a Volkswagen Golf that had a thule rack but otherwise would have had a bare roof

I secured a similar one to the roof of my Nissan Sentra, put camping equipment & a few suitcases in it, and drove over 3,000 miles with it. It isn't too pretty, but get the proper tie-down's & yes, it is possible. It is probably easier in the long run to just buy the generic, "universal", car roof racks for $50-$75 here on Amazon & stick them on your roof however! :)

Yes. We don't have a roof rack either. Just make sure you buy the rubber mat underlayment.

My car has no roof rack, and the pack works. It has straps that loop inside the car (basically a loop around the roof, through the door openings).The pack can hold a lot off mass, so I would be wary of a temporary roof rack unless it is attached really well.

I do not believe it would work without a roof rack. Even if the box said so, I still would not chance it.

I doubt it-the roof vent frame is a lot thicker from top to bottom as you can see in the image-and requires a multiple layered roof to be able to fit-I would suggest checking out flat vent covers that have a mount frame that fits flush to the roof-or you might consider a side vent

According to the item description, it will. In my experience, getting the right cargo bars to fit your vehicle's roof rails is the tricky part. Once you have the bars, most "universal" accessories will mount satisfactorily. I bought a tube frame cargo basket to go on top of my car. If you get into higher end products like Thule and Yakima, some of their systems are proprietary and only work with their systems. The sport rack bars I have (2 different sets) have a rectangular profile and fit a BUNCH of different accessories. Hope this helps you.

I am no expert but honestly I don't believe so because it fits just perfect without a roof rack. I don't believe it has room to spare

The width of each rack is adjustable. The feet of each rack are designed to bolt into the car's four roof rack mounting stations. If the roof of your car has the four roof rack mounting stations (they are under hinged cover plates), then this roof rack system should fit. I use the rack system to carry my skis. And now that the rack is set up to carry my skis, it only takes a couple of minutes to install and remove the rack.

I had it on top on a Grand Caravan which had a roof rack on top. If you have a roof rack, make sure you measure the distances between the bars and compare it to the dimensions of the car top carrier. I'm not sure that it would work without a roof rack.

I have a mounting bracket on my roof rack. worked fine. not sure were you are planning on mounting the brackets?

Well....you could. You would have to run the strap around the roof/through the car to hold it down. I would invest in a roof rack if you plan on doing this

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.

If you've got a roof rack with cross bars, this will probably attach to it.
