No they cant - you have to have some sort of mounting rack on the roof. Malone makes the HR20™ MPG453 that will work on a bare roof, or you can look an roof kits from other mfgrs like Thule or Yakima.

No rack mount. If you took 4 CD cases and stacked them, that's about the size it.

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 have mine mounted on a prius, but yes the rack has tilt feature that would allow easy access without removing the bikes

If you don't have any mounting holes then you are out of luck to mount any rear rack on your bike properly. What about the front?

Not really. They use 'special' screws (screwdriver was included with mine) to hold on the outer covers. Inside the outer covers is a large fly bolt that actually holds the rack to the car.

I think you would be able to mount it on top of the rack using wire ties. It is quite sturdy when unfolded.

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.

I used this with a roof rack, which worked great. But they do sell car clips (separately) that allow you to attach to your door frames, like the traditional hardhshell cartop carriers from the past.

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.

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.

I have moved many things without a roof rack and would say you should be able to as long as you have something to secure the ratchet inside the car. I've secured them to those little handles inside the car and they've held fine.

I don't know for sure. But, I'd be surprised if you couldn't. I don't have roof racks or anything like that, and it works great on my car. Just make sure you get the car clips. Rightline Gear 100600 Car Clips

I don't think it would work well. And the entire system is secured to the vehicle with straps that go through the car. With soft top there would seem to be weak points that could comprise the integrity of the rack and car top.

We have an '08 KIA Optima with no roof rack and it worked like a charm. The carrier is designed for use with or without a rack.

I have indicated on my review, not to purchase this particular item, with the reasons. Not sure this would work any better without a roof rack.

you will have to purchase the rack moutable equipment to make it that way. it does not come to you as rack mountable.
