Do you have to have cross bars? Or can you just have roof rails?

Not sure I had a roof rack I put on my car, they have a non slip pad for this.

This unit was designed for rails with cross bars. If you only use rails you will have to provide additional tie down straps. Just remember that going 65 mph is like being in a 65 mph wind plus what ever mother nature is throwing at you.

Our truck has one cross bar in the front of the roof rails. The bag mounted to the roof with ease. Plenty of extra storage for those long trips. How ever, on our third trip the liner of the car top bag went to shreds. we still use it but have not been caught in a heavy rain. The outside layer of the bag is constructed very durable, but the inside liner is of poor quality.

The dealer may have installed the roof rails Part# 08L02-T0A-110, you will need to get the crossbars which are Part# 08L04-T0A-100. The 2013 crossbars are not the same as the ones for 2007-2011 model year CRVs. Hope this helps to answer your question.

You will have to buy cross bars that attach to the factory roof rails then the Rhino rack will mount to the cross bars.

I had to buy this after I had ordered the roof rack bars. My traverse was not equipped with the rail system. My roof had the plastic rail but I had to add the rail system. Hope this helped.

Please be safe and get the crossbars! You can get them from a junkyard if you have to. We tried a rooftop carrier once without crossbars and made it about 850 miles when the carrier flew off the top of the car onto the interstate! We were so lucky it didn't hit another car or cause a crash. Don't take the chance.

My SUV came with the roof racks already installed. The cross bars were extra and thats what I purchased from Amazon and installed them myself.

I believe the side rails you are referring to are the rails that run the length of the roof. Those rails usually come standard on the LTZ model. Make sure the metal inserts are in the rails that are there now. If not, you'll have to purchase those. If they are there, then this set of cross rails will work.

I have a 2011 also. It comes with the rails that run front to rear but didn't come with the cross bars. The rails that run front to back just look like black trim until you get up and look on top of the vehicle. You'll notice there are four bolts on each side holding them on the roof. Hard to see unless your above it. These work great. I am really happy with the look and quality of these cross bars on my 2011 nitro.

Good day, Civics typically have a naked roof with no rails for this to attach to installed at the factory. We recommend using the Buyer's Guide to see what will be required and what is compatible for your application. Thanks!

this is a cross bar that attaches to side rails. you will need to buy rail racks in order to buy cross bars

If you have a rack with cross bars you should be fine. You need cross bars ( ones going across roof, not just along roof line front to back ) they clasp onto the bars across the roof.

Yes, but make sure to tighten the side hex bolts before you tighten the top bolts on the crossbars. This makes it easier to get them centered. It will also ensure a more snug fit on the rails.

Only the cross bars are included. There is another crossbar set that doesn't require rails, E361SFJ000.

Yes, you will need cross bars running from the passenger to driver side in order to secure the storage bag. However if the factory rails running along each side from front to back have openings, you may be able to turn the bag sideways and run the mounting straps through the rail openings.

I just looked on their website at their fitguide: https://cdn.shptrn.com/media/mfg/572/media_document/7975/SRGuide_short.pdf?1366740487 They don't seem to have any roofracks for your vehicle. Only storage boxes and bags. They have a note about those for your vehicle stating: Factory crossbars are required to fit boxes and bags to this vehicle. Please contact your auto manufacturer to purchase these crossbars.
