The crossbar spread is the measurement from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar. Based on the inner and outer measurements you provided, it seems that your crossbar spread is 36 inches.

If this is the case, I have a solution for you, but the Thule Pulse Alpine # TH613 will not work for your roof rack's 36 inch crossbar spread.

The Yakima SkyBox 12 Rooftop Cargo # Y07334 is designed to work with roof racks that have a crossbar spread between 24 - 42 inches. This cargo box holds 12 cubic feet of cargo. I recommend this cargo box for you, because it will have no problems accommodating the 36 inch crossbar spread of your roof rack. This cargo box opens from either side to allow you easy access to your cargo.

I have attached a review video of the Yakima SkyBox 12 for you.
