Yes, the Rhino-Rack rooftop cargo basket # RMCB02 will fit on virtually any shape of roof rack crossbars, including both aftermarket and factory aero-style bars.

To confirm a great fit just check that your bar size is within the maximum size of 3-1/2-inches wide x 1-1/4-inches tall and that the center-to-center bar spread is within the range of 25-1/2- to 43-inches.

Often users of rooftop cargo solutions also choose a handy folding step # TE97FR to extend reach for easier loading and unloading. This step comes fully-assembled, is made of lightweight non-corrosive aluminum and it folds for easy storage. It will give you almost a foot of extra reach.

When loading your cargo keep in mind that the basket's own weight (about 46-lbs) counts against the roof's weight capacity which will be noted in your vehicle owner's manual.
