The Thule Hullavator part # TH898 that you referenced requires a set of crossbars that run from left to right on the roof of the vehicle to install. It does not come with them but if you can let me know what year Nissan Rogue you have I can help you pick out the correct part numbers you'd need to install the rack.

I attached a review video for this carrier for you to check out as well for more info on how it installs and operates.
