Does Rhino-Rack Steel Mesh Roof Mounted Cargo Tray # RPBL-S280 Include Mounting Hardware

Question:

I Have a 2015 sequoia sr5, that comes with an original crossbar, and it is slightly bent/curved, will it still fit? does it comes with mounting kit?

The Rhino-Rack Steel Mesh Roof Mounted Cargo Tray # RPBL-S280 includes universal hardware to allow mounting on most all types of roof rack crossbars. The hardware will fit bars up to 3-7/8-inches in diameter as long as they are at least 50-inches long and spaced apart no more than 58-inches. The slight curve in your crossbars will not interfere with installation. You will want to take care to not over-tighten the hardware as this could cause distortion of the mesh carrier.

Since this carrier is a flat design without an outside railing you'll need tie-down products to secure your cargo items to the carrier. Rhino-Rack offers their 10-foot Cam Buckle Cinch Strap set (2), part # RTD3 and Rhino-Rack has an 18-foot size # RRRTD55P and Inno has a 19-foot # IN718.

If you prefer a heavier-duty ratcheting strap you can use # EM31353 from Erickson.
