You must have some kind of cross bars to hold it with. There are several options available

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.

You would definitely want to strap it to a car rack. Otherwise the bottom would scratch up your roof because the underneath is a hard plastic.

I used this on a Honda civic without a mat underneath and it worked great. It was raining and was secured directly to roof with the 2 straps that are included. my car does not have a roof rack but was able to follow the simple directions for a 2 door car. My car is old so I wasn't concerned about scratches, didn't appear to add any

The mounting brackets are predecessor to match the bolts locations that hold the roof uprights. Just unbolt them and place the bracket and reinstall the bolts. Do one side at a time. It took me about Ten minutes to install both brackets.

You might check their website. I had cross bars on my roof rack and they mounted no problem.

It comes as a set of two racks. One in the front and one in the back so one purchase will suffice. I however, was unable to mount mine to my SUV because the factory roof racks are too large in diameter for them to attach. There may be a different adapter I could use but I haven't put forth the effort. It's still sitting in my garage unused. And I only live 3 hours from the Alps.

You have to have something to secure it to. My Honda Odyssey had two roof rails and it was fine

Yes, this is what I have done in my 2013 Accord. No installation work at all.... just hook the elastic loops on the net to those existing side hooks. It is not as good as the factory recommended mounting arrangement, which adds two new hooks on the sides for retaining the net both top and bottom, but it still works great, and keeps my grocery bags from rolling around in the trunk. By the way, the factory recommended mounting arrangement requires a special Honda rivet tool that costs more than the net! I recommend this net, even without installing those extra hooks.

Any user will need a parallel set of roof bars installed on top of the vehicle. My own "roof basket" rack is installed on an 2002 OPEL ASTRA G with factory roof rack anchor points. At least four bolts with wide flat head are needed, so they can be installed head down and slide inside the vehicle parallel bars provided cracks. In my own bars set they have a polymer crack cover which needed customized holes. Finally flat washers and nuts were fitted tied for final positioning. I will add it is a very useful accessory and will recommend it without reserves. Just be sure that you do not exceed the rack weight capacity or cargo height and always use proper fastening equipment..

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

Roof rails are already on car. There are plastic screws in the rails in locations where you might want to mount cross bars. Simply remove the plastic screws in location you want the bar and place cross bar and secure with included hardware. It's pretty easy to do but you will need a ladder.

If you have a rack with cross bars you should be fine. You need cross bars ( ones going across roof, not just along roof line front to back ) they clasp onto the bars across the roof.

Everything required to install the roof rack package is included; very simple installation process.Strictly a one man job. Professional assistance in definitely not required.

Hi Leah. I have one of these that I use on my Cadillac SRX SUV. I really love it but I think it would be too large to go on the top of your Accord. It is a really large bag. To make sure, you could just measure the length and width of your roof then compare it to the measurements of the carrier. This bag is HUGE. Holds an amazing amount of stuff. Hope this helps! Jenny

I have a vehical with a roof rack and crossbars. For vehicles without, you have to run the straps inside your vehicle, whether its a 2 or 4 door.

You have to have something to secure the straps to, so I think it does need a roof rack. I'm not sure where else you would tie it down without the rack.
