We offer many roof rack options for your 2013 Nissan Altima 4-Door Sedan with moon roof; and we also offer a range of rooftop cargo products, some of which can be mounted to a roof rack and others which require only roof side rails. Since your Altima has a moon roof it is indeed a good idea to install a roof rack to support the cargo carrier, but if your cargo needs do not require a high weight capacity, and if your Altima owner's manual does not prohibit fabric bags like the Yakima being installed directly on the moon roof, then you may have both options available.

The Yakima roof rack you referenced, which consists of parts # Y00425, # Y28TR, # Y06137 and # Y06127, is a superb ultra-quiet rack system that will work well on your Altima. This aerodynamic rack will deliver far quieter performance than typical round and square bar racks and it is shown in the linked video. With this rack in place you can use one of the Yakima cargo boxes such as # Y07334 which itself has an aerodynamic shape to reduce noise and loss of fuel efficiency.

If you care to advise you preferences and what sort of cargo you need to transport I will be glad to offer other recommendations.
