Expert Reply:
Assuming that there is enough space on the roof of your 2016 Fiat 500 to mount the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B so that it does NOT rest on the sunroof then yes, you can use it.
Otherwise in order to carry cargo you would need to use a trailer hitch such as # C11363 if you do NOT have an Abarth model or # C11347 if you DO HAVE an Abarth model.
If you do go with a trailer hitch option and want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.
Curt hitches require you to have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements. I have linked the Class I compatible 2-bike racks and cargo carriers for you.
