Will The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, # SR7018, Fit A 2004 VW Touareg With Factory Crossbars

Question:

Hi, will the above part secure on my 2004 Touareg factory roof rack? It has the two cross bars base model. I believe they can be moved to satisfy the distance between mounts, but they are very thick, will the cargo carrier fit directly on with any additional kits? Thanks.

The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, # SR7018, will mount to crossbars that have a spread of 25-7/8", 27-7/8", or 29-7/8". It uses 4 inch wide U-bolts to attach to your crossbars, so it will fit crossbars up to 4 inches in diameter.

I talked to SportRack and they said the thickness of the crossbar will not be a problem because the mounting hardware that is used will allow enough range to fit even the thickest of factory crossbars.
