Do I need to purchase anything else with this item in order to install and use it, so long as my car has crossbars?

Mine didn't fit my Honda CRV 2013 crossbars. I have not found a wide enough attachment to make it work, and I will have to return it if I can't find one.

Nope, it should have everything you need. I have the oval shaped factory crossbars on my jeep grand Cherokee and I didn't need anything extra. You should be good with oval or round crossbars.

Comes with everything needed to install on most factory or all yakima cross bars

Hi Andre, you will need to see our "buyer's guide" for the recommended Thule roof rack system for your vehicle. The crossbars are separate to this product, but both are compatible. Thanks!

Yeah but this is a bare kit only bars. You need bumper mounts and Frame Mounts and requires you to cut squares out of the bumper and front Bumper had to come off. Buy the full kit.

This kit should be all you need for your car install. It has various mounting options too which is nice as you can go with a permanent install...I actually used a few screws into an inconspicuous area of my lower dash ( I have an older car so it was no biggy to put a few holes in it) or you can use the suction mount...hope that helps

You do not need crossbars for the bag to work on your vehicle. You may attach it by running the straps through the body of your car and then up over the top of the bag using the D-rings on the side of the bag as guides for the straps. If you do not want the straps running over your head in the car then you may wish to purchase the Rightline Gear Car Clips (#100600). They permit you to attach the straps to the door molding of your vehicle.

Yes. You will need cross bars to mount the wings. They are wonderful! It has been much easier for us to load and tie our kayaks down on our Subaru Outback with these wings! Joyce

Good day, if the crossbars are not adjustable, it may not fit perfectly out of the box, as the mounting holes are in predetermined locations, but the bar spread you have can be accommodated by the box. Thank you and have a great day!

I just received mine and it came with everything I needed to install and use it. No other pieces required.

Dear Anthony, If you car is a single din, you should have any problems with installation. everything comes in the box for full installation, you might need to cut some wires but you wont need to buy anything. It should be pretty straight forward. if you have any question please feel free to ask. thank you for you interest. kelvin

You might want too, but I do not think it is necessary. The goal is to get the pack as close to the car as possible as there are not support under the pack just the roof of your car. The pack ties down to your rack...the crossbars may get in the way of your luggage...depends how much you are planning to pack. :)

It came with all of the parts I needed. Depending on the size of your bars, you may need to make different adapters or add a couple wraps of tape to make them snug. I used a couple of pieces of double faced tape to hold the adapters in place. That was not included and I could have done without it if I had a helper.

You have to buy the add on cross bar for it to work. I bought it and its pretty easy to use.

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

It does not require it per se. It can be used with or without. If you have the OEM hitch, the reinforcement bar is the hitch. If you don't have a hitch it's probably easiest just to remove it.

We have a Subaru Outback which has both horizontal and vertical racks so this was no problem for us. So if you car does not have either or both of these racks, then yes, you will have to have them installed for this kayak carrier. BTW, this carrier is an excellent product which my husband had no problem putting together and installing on our racks. We have used it several times since purchasing it last summer (2013) and are very happy with its quality.

Not for the cross bar. Came with the nut and washers for the top though. I just went and bought new bolts from the hardware store.

The 897XT will only work on after market crossbars, the bar needs to hang over the side of the car/ truck. If not the Hullavator will smack on the side of the door.
