Is There a Way to Add the Inno Shaper 100 Roof Rack to My Non-Square Crossbars on My 2018 QX60?

Question:

I have a 2018 Infiniti QX60 with cross bars and want to add the aluminum finished Inno roof basket but it says in the installation to only add this product to square cross bars. Is there an adjustment I can add in order for this product to work with my factory installed cross bars?

I have a basket solution for you. While there is a way to attach the Inno Shaper 100 if you have aero-style crossbars on your 2018 Infiniti QX60, but the solution will only work if you have compatible t-slot channels in your current crossbars. I went ahead and attached a picture of the required t-slot dimensions to this answer. I recommend that you measure your channels to make sure the Shaper 100 will fit. Also, Inno only provides this basket in a black finish. This is the # INXA569.

If you find that you do not have compatible t-slots, we do have a great basket option with clamps: the Aluminum Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 44" Long x 39" Wide x 7" Deep # 288-09200. This basket will provide you with 150 pound of weight capacity. I recommend consulting with your owner's manual to make sure that your QX60 can accommodate that much weight. As far as fitment, this basket will fit on your crossbars as long as they do not exceed 2 inches tall x 4-3/4 inches wide. I recommend measuring your crossbars to see if you have compatible dimensions. Unfortunately, we do not have a silver/chrome-colored basket that is compatible with your crossbars.

If you are looking for a great water-resistant bag, the Curt Cargo Bag for Roof Basket - Waterproof - 13.5 Cu Ft # C18220 makes for a great addition to the basket that will fit within the basket's dimensions.
