do these attach directly to the roof or do you need to already have a roof rack of some kind? I have a 2010 Hynudai Sonata with nothing on the roof

They attach directly to the roof. I have a 2013 ford CMAX. It does need an attachment for each particular car, as seen on their web page.

These are the feet that attach to the roof by going in the door jam. You need to buy the rails separately.

Mark is incorrect. The kit includes the brackets and instructions for mounting to a roof. However, you will need to choose the screws/bolts/washers etc. that will work with the type of roof you are attaching to. For instance, we mounted to our garage roof and we used bolts and washers on the bracket that was able to get attached to a solid wood beam under the shingles but we had to use toggle anchors, washers and bolts for the bracket that wasn't able to be attached to a solid wood beam. We also used tar in the holes we drilled before screwing anything down. Make sure you make the holes in your roof watertight again!

Car came with roof rack but without cross bars. My guess is that it's a dealer only item and you probably want thenm to install it also.

Deana G. No you need side rails for these to attach to. Furthermore when you do get the side rails, you need to measure distance from one side rail to the other, and view the roof rack locking cross bars specs as far as distance. I have 2012 Rogue, so I dont know if the cross rails would be long enough for Murano.Let me also mention about the quality, I have used them for about a year now, they seem to rust a little on the inside locking devices (there are 4), so I imagine it not an item that will lost a long long time. I probably will eventually have Nissan dealership install factory cross bars on my Rogue anyway, they seem more aerodynamic as well. Deana G. No you need side rails for these to attach to.

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.

When I bought it the roof racks were separate as well as the mounts. the attachments did come with it.

No. If you look closely at the black insert strips on the roof, you will see two little black covers on each strip that slide out to reveal the mounting blocks. Just make sure you read the instructions and have the bars facing the right way. Very easy installation. Note: These are for the 2014 only! Earlier models don't have the mounting blocks.

Not sure the answer sent from my iphone went out so will answer again on my laptop. You must already have the two bars running thelength of your car roof, from front to back, to attach the roof rack. My Honda CRV came with them factory installed so I could easily add the rack. It's a great rack. Very solid.

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

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.

You need to be able to attach a Thule rack to the top of your car. This Inno rack then attaches to the Thule rack bar. Great rack!

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.

As long as you already have the roof rack that the vehicle came with (ei- the ones going from the back window to the front window on either side.) These will 'claw grab' the bars installed on your vehicle's bars.. And im pretty sure that if your bars are totally round in shape, then they wont grab on to anything.. does this help you?

Greetings Fellow Soul Owners: There are four mounting locations that come stock on the car. If you look at the roof you will see the recessed cap. Simply remove with a flat head screwdriver (carefully) and BAM! You're ready to rock. The kit I purchased came with the mounting bolts and tool (Allen Head) to complete the job. Be careful not to over tighten the bolts upon installation. We drove from Seattle to Florida with our rack, it was legit. We were careful to follow the weight limit in the manual, somewhere around 100lbs

It doesn't - it attaches to the roof rails that are already on the vehicle - if your vehicle does not have roof rails, then these bars won't work for you

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..
