There are limited options for a tandem bike. I recommend the Thule Tandem Bike Carrier - Fork Mount # TH558P because the design gives you the ability to load it and unload it from your roof easier. The length of the tandem bike requires a roof top mount instead of a hitch mount option. I've attached a video to assist.
For additional security you can add the Yakima Accessory Lock Housing - Same Key System (SKS) Compatible # Y07220 and lock cores # Y07204.
If you already have crossbars on your roof you will be good to go. If you have factory siderails but no bars then I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and SX Series Legs # RRSX100.
If you have a naked roof I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2, the
Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and Custom DK Fit Kit # DK177.
