I have a great Rhino-Rack Pioneer platform solution for you. If you have WingBar Evo Crossbars installed like the # TH711420 on your 2005 Volvo XC70 with raised factory rails, the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Tray - Aluminum - 76" Long x 54" Wide # RR65TB (52103F) and the 60" Long x 54" Wide # RR95TB (52101F) will not fit. This is because both of these pioneer platform systems requires a fit kit for installation and will not allow you to mount on top of the WingBar Evo crossbars. The fit kits are not universal.

To use a platform with your WingBar Evo Crossbars, these are the only two options that are compatible:

- Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars - 58" Long x 47" Wide # RR42115BF
- Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars - Aluminum - 48" Long x 38" Wide # RR42114BF

Judging that you are looking for an ideal width of 54 inches or 49 inches, I recommend the # RR42115BF. This platform comes with clamps that allow you to attach it to your WingBar Evo Crossbars.
