Bike Carrier Adapter Compatibility with 2017 Volvo XC60 OEM Roof Rack Crossbars
Question:
I need to adapt a bike carrier to a dealer installed roof rack crossbars for a 2017 Volvo XC60. Yakima sells mounting rack with specific profiles. What are the profiles of the Volvo crossbars?

We don't have the specs for a Volvo OEM crossbar and I can't find them online. I reached out to my contact at Thule because the bars look like theirs, but they did not make them. They do however make the Volvo branded roof box for future reference.
I also reached out to Yakima and they also do not make those bars although they did make racks in the past. So I can't get you the profile dimensions, but my contact was able to confirm that the Universal MightyMounts for Yakima Roof Mounted Accessories # Y03590 will allow you to adapt a bike carrier to those bars if it is a wheel mounted bike rack. The older fork mounted options he said will not be adaptable.

I reached out to Thule and Yakima and neither one is the maker or has the measurements specs for the OEM crossbars from Volvo. For future reference, Thule does make the Volvo branded roof box. Yakima does make the Universal MightyMounts for Yakima Roof Mounted Accessories # Y03590 which my contact confirmed will fit the OEM crossbars. He said the wheel mounted bike racks will work, but the fork mounted bike racks won't adapt.
