The model is designed only for recently Pathfinder models, you can't use in other SUV'S. Regards

These are the crossbars that attach to the existing roof rails on the SV and SL models. After some quick research, it looks like the S model does not have these rails. If you don't have the rails that run lengthwise on the edge of the roof, these will not work for you. You may want to consider a roof rack system from Yakima or Thule.

The S model does not come equipped with the roof rails needed to install the cross bars.

Did your Pathfinder come with a roof rack, this is a bar on each side running front to rear? If so check the inside of each bar for foue threaded holes on each bar. If the threaded holes are there these cross bars should screw in and work. I do not know what type of support is built into the model S roof. Nissan Corp. has a website and an 800 number. Go online or call, I found them to be very helpful.Good luck.

Good day, Unfortunately, out of the ten systems we offer, due to the design of your roof, none will be compatible. We do offer additional and specific fits under our Thule line of products. Thanks!

Thanks for answering me! I've decided to keep the old model. Looking at the manuals for both on line I'm thinking the lift mechanism for the elevators is the same so one seems as liable to break as the other. I'd rather have it fit bigger cars. I talked to Plan today and they said the newer one does have a smaller elevator.

I live in the south and have mine on a Honda 14 model for about 6 months now. Was real happy at the ease of installation and durability. I routinely put stuff on the top as I am unloading the back of my truck and think it would probably do OK with a snow load provided it wasn't the real heavy wet snow like we get in the south.

While there are some differences between the 2009, 2010 and later JSWs (mostly cosmetic, electronic but very few mechanical and/or structural differences), I don't think the roof rails are one of those differences. I suggest you call your local VW dealer and ask them if the OEM cross-bars for 2010 and later JSWs is the same part number for your 2009 JSW. If it is (which I'm pretty sure it is) - there is most likely no difference in the roof rails and this cross-bar set will work great. I also recommend going the dealership and parking your car next to a later model and compare the two. I think you'll discover the cars are nearly the same structurally.

I don't see why not! We have used it for many trips on top of our subaru TriBeCa. I'm pretty sure you can use it with any type of roof rack. We've had it in extreme heat, cold, and rain and it's held up fine.

I bought mine in January 2014, so if you have an older or newer model this may not apply. The front surface of this is flat, but slightly angled, so setting mine on the front was not stable. It stands up, but the slightest bump would knock it over onto its top. The sides however are flat and at a 90 degree angle to the top/bottom. It can stand that way and is more stable than standing on its front, but I still wouldn't leave it that way unless there were some support to keep it from falling over if I accidentally bumped it.

I am not sure why I am being asked questions about the Honda roof racks. I could not attach them to my vehicle and stated this in my review.

Someone told me that the 2013 model will attach to tables that have lips or skirts while the 2014 will not. I do not know if that is true but that is important to me, i want a versatile table chair that will go on almost any kind of 4 legged table so that i can keep it in the car and have something i can use wherever we stop for eating.

I WOULD SAY NO. The reason is that some of the side panels and roof panels lock into place, and seem to fit so that they wouldn't easily come back apart. I would be afraid that you could break them if you tried to disassemble. Hope that helps.

We have the 2014 and it works great. Does not obstruct airbags. It's been a lifesaver with 2 kids!

I have a short roof too but have a 4 seater. With the seat on the back, you should buy the 4 seater. The roof will allow you to pull the cover down further around the back (assuming you also have a foot deckfor the retro fit seat on back, and especially so if you have the vertical bar at the edge of the back foot deck).

I'm not sure if the changed the suspension on the 2014-2015 models but I have this installed on my 2011 and the ride DID change a little. It rides like a truck now. Nothing to complain about but you know you're driving a truck now.

It depends on the individual car roof. We put loads into it for our vacation (around 200 pounds) and had no problems. We have a Volvo-XC90 and it worked great.

It should be fine. I have a roof rack, but a roof rack isn't necessary as you can secure it through your door/window. If I were you and didn't have a roof rack, I would just buy a mat/pad to protect your roof from rubbing with the pack at higher speeds.

If roadster means convertible, then maybe. Ive seen people mount in some really unusual ways- - even diagonally on a very small S2000 convertible. Cant confirm yes or no though.

Don't know for sure, but since it is the same body style I would assume the rails would be the same. Look at your rails, there should be two bolt holes front and rear on both rails. The bars bolt into these holes so the roof rack is not adjustable. Hope this helps.John
