Expert Reply:
Most likely they won't because of how close the ends of the crossbars will be to the legs. I checked with Thule and they don't recommend using that short of a crossbar either. If you are looking for a roof rack with no overhang, I recommend a flush mount system from Thule. I have listed the parts you will need below:
