Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Acura MDX with Naked Roof
Question:
Hi, Bought a Thule Summit Cargo box and have a 2011 Acura MDX w/a naked roof. Was considering the Thule Square bar rack system and notice there are some other options that are considerably less expensive. Do you know if I could attach the cargo box to the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack with Crossbars - 54inch Long? If I do that, if/when I get a new car, can I just purchase new clamps and pads for the Rhino and continue to use the bars? Thanks for your help.

Expert Reply:
The Rhino Rack square crossbars would be compatible with the Thule Summit cargo box just like a Thule setup since the bars are the same dimensions.
For your 2011 Acura MDX the Rhino Rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK176 would fit and work well.
