Roof Rack, Basket, and Cargo Bag Recommendations for 2018 Volvo XC90
Question:
Hi, I live in NYC and park my Volvo XC90 in a garage. My garage has a height restriction of 6 ft 8 inches - so I cannot install a roof box. I also have a moonroof so cannot place a roof bag on top. I am hoping to find a lightweight and easy to take on off roof basket and then secure a roof bag on top of that. Do you have a recomendation for this i.e. lightweight roof basket that is easy to install and remove and can hold a roof bag - Probably the Thule Interstat or Thule Outbound.

For your application I recommend using the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system with the Small Inno Roof Deck Platform Rack # INA510 and the Thule Interstate Cargo Bag # TH869. I've personally installed the Inno Roof Deck Platform Rack a number of times (see attached on a 2017 Nissan Titan) and it is pretty light (28.7 lbs) plus it is very easy to install. When it comes to your Thule roof rack the parts will vary depending on if your 2018 Volvo XC90 has the raised or flush rails:
Raised Rails
53" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711420 or Silver # TH711400
Evo Raised Rail Feet - # TH710401
Flush Rails
53" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711420 or Silver # TH711400
Evo Flush Rail Feet - # TH710601
Fit Kit - # TH186028
I've attached some review videos for you to check out. This whole setup should add about 8" to the height of your rails - this is not including the cargo bag.
