Can I Use A Roof Rack Without Accessories Like A Roof Basket?
Question:
I have a 2014 Ford Flex with raised side rails running front to rear, and will be getting crossbars on soon. Was looking at the PN - INXB138 Inno Aero Aluminum Load Bar - Black - 54inch Long - Qty 2, and was wondering if this would be ok to use, with a pad under, between them? It states to be used with the rack/basket, but if it will work without, it would be preferred.

I would recommend getting these crossbars # JA7977 as they are super low profile and have a really good oem look. This can be used with a cargo basket # RMCB02 and any other type of accessory like this pad # MPG314.
You don't have to have a basket on top of your roof with roof rack systems if you don't want to.
