The Yakima FatCat EVO 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier # Y03096 and the smaller Evo 4 # Y03095 both include excellent mounting hardware that will fit any shape of roof rack crossbar, including factory bars, up to maximum bar dimensions of 3-7/16-inches wide x 1-3/4-inches tall. This carrier will easily handle 4 fishing rods and the rubber cushioning will protect them in transit. The bottom of the carrier will be approximately 3-1/2-inches above the top of the crossbar once installed.

Thanks to the included SkiLift riser one side of the carrier can be raised up to provide more clearance for skis with tall bindings or large fishing reels. Locks are included.

I confirmed with Yakima that both of these carriers will fit your factory roof rack.
