Expert Answers about Kia Roof Basket


  • Are Crossbars Required to Carry a Rooftop Carrier on a 2014 Subaru Forester
  • All rooftop cargo boxes and cargo baskets require crossbars that run side to side on the vehicle roof. There are some rooftop cargo bags that sit directly on the vehicle roof and do not require crossbars. The 2014 Subaru Forester came with three different roof options. Your Forester could have a bare roof, factory raised side rails that run front to back or a factory roof rack with crossbars. If your Forester has a factory roof rack with crossbars, then you will not need additional crossbars...

  • The Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 40" Wide - 165 lbs # Y07138 does not come with locks, but it does offer a slot to insert lock cores to keep this nice basket safe and secured on your roof. You will want to go with Yakima SKS Lock Cores # Y07204 which comes with all 4 locks and 2 matching keys. I attached a demonstration video for the Yakima Offgrid roof basket along with an installation video for the key system. The lock cores are very easy to install and use.

  • How Can I Carry A Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Cargo Basket On My 2014 Mercedes GL450 w/ Raised Rails
  • I am happy to help get your 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL450 setup to carry the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket - 84" Long x 50" Wide, part # SPS5084. This basket can be attached to your vehicle two ways. You can attach it directly to the rails of your vehicle or you can install it to a roof rack.

  • Replacement Thule Cross Bars and Roof Basket on 2006 Land Rover LR3 with Factory Rails
  • I can't tell by the pictures if all the parts are damaged but the Thule roof rack in the pictures consist of the old style 58 inch square bars, Podium foot pack, and fit kit # THKIT3112. The basket doesn't look like a Thule product to me. I'm fairly sure it's the Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070 or possibly the MegaWarrior # Y07080. Look at the picture I've attached of the mounting brackets off the LR3 compared to the Yakima brackets. Of course, if you wanted, the basket can be replaced...

  • Will the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Factory Rails Fit on Flush Mounted Rails
  • I have a solution for you, but the Surco Safari 5.0 Roof Cargo Basket for Factory Rails # SPS4560-1101 is designed for raised side rails and it appears that the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350 has flush side rails; the Surco # SPS4560-1101 is not compatible with flush side rails. If you've got factory crossbars for your GLC 350 then you'll need to use a different roof basket like the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # C18115-117, which is similarly sized to the Surco basket and designed to fit...

  • Roof Rack to Install Rhino-Rack Roof Basket on a 2016 Jeep Renegade Sport
  • To complete the roof rack on your 2016 Jeep Renegade it must have the factory rails that run front to back on the roof. With these raised rails you can add crossbars..

Then the Rhino-Rack Roof Basket # RMCB02 can be added to the Vortex bars.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Cargo Basket to Fit a 2005 Honda Pilot with Raised Rails
  • What you have right now on your 2005 Honda Pilot's roof are raised side rails. You need to add crossbars for a complete roof rack. I recommend the Malone AirFlow2 racks. You can use either the 58 inch bars, part # MPG216 or the 65 inch bars, part # MPG217. Then for a roof basket I like the Thule Canyon, part # TH859XT, because it includes a fairing on the front to deflect the wind. I've linked a video of this basket for you to take a look at.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Cargo Basket for 2016 Jeep Cherokee
  • Thank you for the photo of your 2016 Jeep Cherokee that has factory-installed raised side rails on its roof.

This rack will be quieter than other types thanks to its elliptical-shaped bars that reduce wind turbulence. Their black finish will also complement the Jeep's appearance. An installation video is...

  • Recommended Cargo Net and Straps for Inno Shaper 80 Roof Cargo Basket
  • I recommend using the RhinoRack # RLN1 which is 47-1/2" long x 31-1/2" wide unstretched, so it's going to be the closest match for your Inno Shaper 80 # INXA568 and will allow you to secure your cargo into the basket. For straps, I recommend using the etrailer Cam Buckle Cinch Straps w/ Buckle Protectors # E98876-4 which come in packs of 4 and are 13 feet long so they'll allow you to wrap them all the way around most loads you're going to carry in the basket.
