I have a Volvo Thue Mountaineer box and want to mount it on my 2004 2 door coupe Honda Civic. What type of cross bar and mounting system do I need?

The only roof rack that will work on your 2004 Honda Civic 2 door coupe is a universal suction cup design: SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B. The weight capacity is 150lbs, but make sure you don't exceed the weight limit of your car's roof, which is likely less than 150lbs.

You can then install the Thule Mountaineer Roof Cargo Box onto the roof rack; just keep in mind that this is a large box and you may not be able to open your trunk with it installed. I attached a couple demonstration videos for you.
