Roof Rack Information

Select your vehicle to confirm the Roof Rack fit

Whether you simply don't have the space inside your car or you would rather not clutter your cargo area, a roof rack will provide you with a space-saving alternative for carrying cargo and equipment. You can mount large and unwieldy items that will not fit inside your car or SUV. You can fill a rooftop cargo carrier with wet or dirty gear to ensure that your trunk or cargo area remains clean and dry. And you can quickly and easily get your sporting gear to the trail, beach, lake or mountain.

With a roof rack you can securely transport:

Bikes
Skis and snowboards
Surfboards
Canoes and kayaks
Cargo (within cargo boxes, bags or baskets)

How to Choose a Roof Rack

What Do You Want to Carry?

The first step when choosing a roof-rack system is determining what it is that you want to carry or, more precisely, how you intend to use your rack. If you're a contractor, for example, and you may end up using your roof rack for work equipment, then Rhino-Rack's Heavy-Duty square crossbars will likely be a good choice. If, on the other hand, you wish to carry only a couple of bikes, then any bars will suffice.

Most roof-rack-mounted carriers and accessories will fit nearly all square, round, aero and elliptical bars on the market. But if you have a specific idea of what you want to transport, then you may want to consider choosing your carrier first so you don't run into any compatibility issues.

To learn more about the different types of racks and accessories, click on the following links:

What Is a Roof Rack Able to Carry?

The type and amount of cargo or equipment that you can carry with your roof rack is largely dependent on your specific application and the type(s) of carriers that you choose. To a certain extent, you can estimate how many or how few carriers you can fit onto your rack based on the crossbar length.

Typically, if your crossbars measure up to 50" long, you can carry the following:

1 - 4 Bikes
1 - 2 Kayaks
1 - 8 Pairs of skis
2 - 4 Surfboards, or
1 Cargo box with enough room to fit 1 bike beside it

If you use bars that are between 53" and 60" long, you can carry approximately:

1 - 5 Bikes
1 - 2 Kayaks
1 - 10 Pairs of skis
2 - 4 Surfboards, or
1 Cargo box with enough room to fit 2 bikes beside it

If you use bars that are longer than 60", you can carry approximately:

1 - 6 Bikes
1 - 2 Kayaks
1 - 12 Pairs of skis
2 - 4 Surfboards, or
1 Cargo box with enough room to fit 1 kayak beside it

Always be aware of weight limitations. The maximum capacity of your roof-rack system will be dependent on the lowest-rated part of the system. So, if you have a roof-mounted cargo box that has a weight capacity of 150 lbs, roof-rack crossbars that are rated at 200 lbs, and these are on a roof rated at 100 lbs, then you cannot load more than 100 lbs.

To determine your roof's maximum weight capacity, check your vehicle's owner's manual. Typically, your vehicle will be the limiting factor.

What Type of Roof Rack is Right for Your Vehicle?

The other factor that will certainly affect what you can carry on your vehicle's roof is the roof itself. We have an in-house Roof Rack Application Guide that will help you determine which rack systems are best suited for your vehicle. Most setups are vehicle specific, from the recommended length of the crossbars to the custom foot packs.

Typically, you will have a few choices in roof-rack systems so that can you pick your crossbar style. One area in which you will not have as many choices, though, is the mounting kits, most of which are vehicle specific. Our fitguide will walk you through the process of finding the perfect rack for your application, but before looking up your vehicle, you need to be able to differentiate between the different roof types. This will help to ensure that you get a kit that offers a perfect fit.

Your vehicle's roof should fall into one of the following categories:

Naked roof
Factory-installed raised side rails
Factory-installed flat tracks
Factory-installed roof rack with crossbars

Roof Racks for Vehicles with a Naked Roof

Vehicles with naked roofs have no tracks or rails. With a naked roof, you need a fit kit, foot pack and crossbars to create a complete roof-rack system. The etrailer.com fitguide will automatically group these items together for you to make choosing and ordering your roof rack easy.

These pictures detail the components required for a naked-roof vehicle.

A. Each fit kit is custom-designed to create the best, strongest fit for your specific vehicle. These kits include pads that contour to your vehicle's roof and sturdy clips that fasten to the outer edges of your roof, either by connecting to pre-drilled holes (as seen in the first image) or by clamping around the door jamb (as in the second image).

B. The podium-style foot pack includes four feet that connect to the custom fit kit and provide attachment points for the roof-rack crossbars.

C. The crossbars (or load bars) are the last part of the system to be installed. These provide the usable portion of your roof-rack system where any carriers or accessories will be mounted.

Occasionally, certain naked-roof vehicles require a short-roof adapter. This item is most commonly used on small two-door vehicles with short or curved rooflines. A short-roof adapter:

Allows you to increase the distance between crossbars for proper spacing, which provides better weight distribution for mounted cargo and equipment
Increases the carrying capacity of your rack

Short-roof adapters are custom fit. Adapters are available for the following crossbars:

Roof Racks for Vehicles with Factory-Installed Raised Side Rails

Raised side rails are most common on minivans and SUVs. They run from front to back on your vehicle and can provide attachment points for an aftermarket roof-rack system. To mount a roof rack on a vehicle with this type of roof, you will need a foot pack and crossbars.

The pictures above detail the components required for a vehicle with raised side rails.

A. The foot pack for factory rails includes four feet that clamp onto or wrap around your vehicle's side rails and provide mounting points for the roof-rack crossbars.

B. The crossbars (or load bars) are the last part of the system to be installed. These provide the usable portion of your roof-rack system where any carriers or accessories will be mounted.

Roof Racks for Vehicles with Factory-Installed Flush Side Rails

Flush Factory Rails on 2012 Jeep Cherokee

Factory flush rails run from front to back on your vehicle and may provide attachment points for an aftermarket roof-rack system. To mount a roof rack on a vehicle with this type of roof, you will need a fit kit, foot pack and crossbars.

The pictures above detail the components required for a vehicle with flush factory rails.

A. Each fit kit is custom-designed to create the best, strongest fit for your specific vehicle. These kits mount to your factory rails.

Vehicles That Have Factory-Installed Roof Racks with Crossbars

If your vehicle came equipped with a roof rack that has crossbars, you may not need an aftermarket roof-rack system. Most roof-rack-mounted carriers and accessories on the market will fit factory load bars. If the carrier that you would like to use does not fit your factory bars, adapters may be available.

Be sure to check your owner's manual for the capacity of your factory roof-rack system. Many OEM racks are designed more for aesthetics than utility and, therefore, are not built to support much weight. If you intend to use your roof rack for heavy loads, you may want to add aftermarket crossbars to boost the carrying capacity of your system. To do this, follow the instructions for Factory-Installed Raised Side Rails.

Types of Roof-Rack Crossbars

The fun part of choosing an aftermarket roof rack is picking the type of crossbars that you want your system to have. Sometimes this will be determined by the application or what you intend to use the rack for. For example, if you want to carry lumber or ladders with your system, Rhino-Rack's Heavy-Duty bars might be a good fit. There are multiple accessories that cater more to contractors and fit only these bars.

For the most part, roof-rack-mounted accessories and carriers that clamp onto or wrap around load bars will fit all types of bars. There are always exceptions though, so be sure to read accessory product descriptions carefully when determining compatibility.

Hi...we love eTrailer and have bought all our racks and accessories from you...you are the best! We are getting a new Chrysler Pacifica minivan, which comes with the built in Stow 'n Place roof rack system. At first this seemed nice...until we realized you only have about 39" of linear space with this system. We own a 58" Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack (bought from you!) for our Odyssey (with factory raised side rails) that allows us to fit a Thule box + 2 pair ski carrier side-by-side. We use most of the 58" in this set-up and there is no way 39" will be enough for both accessories. Is there any way to put an aftermarket system on top of the 2021 Pacifica? Can we just ignore the built in system, treat it like a naked roof and attach some rails and then put our own footers and crossbars on it? If so, what system would you recommend? Any inputs on how to make this work so we can get use of the longer cross bars would be appreciated! Thanks for the awesome expertise!

Victoria B.

9/14/2021

I wish I had an aftermarket rack solution for you, but currently there are no aftermarket fits for your 2021 Pacifica. It doesn't look like manufacturers have fit for older model Pacificas either. Rack fits are designed and created based on interest, and since there is a factory option, most likely there hasn't been enough demand to design an aftermarket rack for the Pacifica. Once you know what cargo you normally carry on your roof will no longer fit due to shorter crossbars, we can explore other carrying options so you can still take all of your gear.

James M.

9/14/2021

@VictoriaB Thanks so much for the reply. I kind of assumed the same on market demand with a factory installed solution. So, even the "naked roof" rail systems are model specific? They are not general enough with some bases + rail runners that you an install on the roof and then from there build up your system? I was picturing something like this...https://www.etrailer.com/Roof-Rack/Rhino-Rack/RRRLT600.html. Even if not confirmed to fit the 2021 Pacifica, are these systems general enough that an aftermarket install shop could make them work? (I know you can't guarantee it, of course...interested in your expert opinion only!) Thanks so much!

Victoria B.

10/12/2021

@JamesM You could certainly have a shop install tracks like the Rhino Rack RTC or RT-Style Tracks on your Pacifica and build a rack up from there like you mentioned. You hit the nail on the head that those systems are not tested and confirmed on specific vehicles, but can still be made to work. Many folks would get really uncomfortable at the thought of drilling into the roof of their brand new vehicle in order to install a track system like this, so it isn't an option we explore very often but it certainly can be done. I have linked all of the track options that we currently have so you can check them out. Then you would need a foot pack like the product you referenced. Crossbars would finish the system out, and the length you need would depend on how wide your roof is. Some crossbars styles can fit any width, but other crossbars are designed to mount within a certain width - all things a good shop would help you take into consideration while planning your build. A track system like this will also allow you to space the crossbars out as wide or as narrow as you need them for whatever accessories you are using, like a cargo box and ski carriers.

I recently leased a 2021 Nissan Kicks with a naked roof. However after having it for two and a half months, I find that a roof rack system would be helpful for items that won't fit inside. On a long drive I don't like leaving the hatch open for fear of the exhaust fumes. Is there a possible way to obtain side rails that would like as factory install or that would work without marring the paint or drilling holes as it a a lease vehicle. I tried my older roof carrier that worked on my other Nissans, but the door edges on the Kicks are more rounded and the clamps slip off when tightened down. Can you suggest what I could do as I'm not supposed to modify the vehicle unless using Nissan parts. Thanks all!

Victoria B.

8/19/2021

While we don't have any kind of aftermarket raised side rails for your Kicks, if your vehicle has flush mounted side rails, we have roof rack options that you could install without making any modifications to the vehicle. If you have flush mounted side rails on your Kicks, these roof rack options install via an existing fixed mounting point along this flush rail. I have linked all of the custom fit roof rack options for your Kicks.

I don't have a system that I can guarantee will work in place of the factory crossbar system, but your best bet would maybe be a Yakima roof rack that installs in fixed mounting points on the Highlander roof. I am not certain that the mounting points under your factory rack will match up with those needed for the Yakima system. I have linked confirmed fits for the Highlander, but none are specifically made to replace a factory system.

The old fit kit system for your vehicle isn't actively available so if you aren't able to find it somewhere else (like a used parts store) then You'll need to use the newer fit kit # TH186044 with the newer style Thule WingBar Evo system. I'm attaching a link to the roof rack section of the fitguide for your vehicle that you can check out to see what all we have. Some other brands do have the style that you're looking for where the ends of the crossbars fit into the legs instead of sit on top of them.

Roof rack manufacturers usually do extensive testing to determine the best placing for their roof rack kits. I mean technically you can install the roof rack anywhere you want, just be mindful that if it's not where the manufacturer indicates in the instructions then that could change the weight rating and you might damage your vehicle (since we don't know where all of the weak spots are and how Rhino-Rack determined their fitments).

Since the Thule WingBar Evo crossbars have a limited amount of space on the underside where the legs connect I don't think you will be able to physically fit them together for your application. Sometimes with Thule you're able to use the next size up but we do a pretty good job at notating and listing this when we find it. You might be able to get them to fit but it does depend on your cargo box size and if you want to get into the cargo box or not.

@Tyson The Thule ProBar would be your only option with that setup. These are a little more heavy-duty style but they have the T-Slots that will work with accessories. Another thing to keep in mind if the weight rating. This roof rack has a rating of 165 lbs so if you're going to be using a box like the SkyBox 16 # Y07335 which weighs in at 47 lbs you'll need to calculate that in with the weight of your kayak and any cargo you plan on putting in this box.

It's great that you mention that a roof rack can save room inside your car! My husband and I just got mountain bikes and we want to store them and have room for our two kids as well! We will be sure to look for an appropriate roof rack with these tips.

I've a 2014 Mazda CX9 Touring and would like to go with the bare roof system. How do I know the length of bar needed? Would your recommend the Inno or the Rhino?

Jon G.

4/21/2021

If you check out the attached link you can see all of the roof rack options that we know will fit your vehicle! RhinoRack and Inno are about the same when it comes to quality, but I would have to give the edge to Inno and recommend them simply because of the way the top track system and how it is designed. For Rhino-Rack you have to cut the rubber strip but with Inno you just press the rubber piece into the track a little more and no cutting is needed.

I am trying to carry a canoe safely on a Jeep Wagoneer with a 6" lift. It has 2 permanently mounted Thule roof racks which are solid. I have a support device which fits in a hitch receiver and provides support when the canoe is being carried on my Tacoma. I want to run this in the front position for short trips to the local waters. This would necessarily involve having a 2.5" vertical post arising front the front of the Jeep.(would have to mount front receiver) Short of finding some "invisibility paint" does this seem like a recipe for getting many traffic tickets? Thanks.

Jon G.

4/8/2021

You shouldn't have any problems with tickets when it comes to using a goal-post loader on a front receiver. It's actually pretty common for trucks that are towing a trailer because they can't use that rear trailer hitch receiver position while towing.

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude (has the flush black rails that run front to back - NOT the silver and black). Interested in a Yakima Jet Stream system. I have seen previous Q&As where the rep recommends a Yakima system that will work with a GC with either type rails (the flush black OR the silver and black) as long as it is not a naked roof without any rails. However, when I filter indicating I have the the black flush rails, it adds on the Baseclip Fit Kit for a naked roof (Y06121) that has the piece that goes down and fits into the door jamb. HELP, PLEASE! I am looking for a system that uses attachments already in place and does not rely on a hook into the door jamb - if that exists. Thanks!

Jon G.

4/5/2021

The flush rails with the chrome trim should have a piece in the track that you remove and you can see anchor points where you will install some bolts (which act as the fit kit). The flush rails that are solid black don't have that piece that you remove from the track which is why you will need to use the fit kit that has the clips.

Good evening. I have a 2008 acura mdx, i just installed my oem roof rack, i neex help on purchasing cross bar system that will accomodate my roofnest falcon RTT, yikes.. i was looking at the most strongest cross bars like yakima HD bars plus what ever podium is the best that wont let my RTT fly out of the roof, rhina rack square cross bars plus podium. Please help, i was also gonna by 6 inch sea sucker to attached RTT to the front of my cars roof. Im paranoid about the RTT flying out when im on the freeway. Suggestion as appreciated and will buy at etrailer.

Jon G.

2/19/2021

When you say you just installed your OEM roof rack I'm guessing you mean the raised rails that go front to back? If that's the case then I highly recommend going with the Thule WingBar roof rack which includes parts # TH711420 and # TH710401. This has a weight capacity of 165 lbs which will be high enough for your 140 lb tent - 160 lb tent (depending on if you have the Falcon or Falcon XL). This is what's known as the dynamic load rating - dynamic being while the vehicle is in motion. The static load rating, or when the vehicle isn't moving, will be high enough to accommodate your tent as well because the crossbars can handle more weight when the vehicle isn't moving. Just be sure to follow all of the guidelines set in place for your RTT.

For cheapest we have the Inno square bar setup which uses parts # INB127, # INSUT, and # INK196. If you wanted better quality with an aero bar system then use the Inno roof rack with the parts # INXB138-2, # INXS250, and # INK196 instead.

For your factory crossbars you'll need the Universal MightyMounts # Y03590. Please note that these are only compatible with some Yakima accessories so we'll need to make sure that whatever you are wanting to put on top of your LR4 is compatible with these as well.

I’ve inherited a Thule roof rack set from my dad that are about 20 years old. It’s the Thule Square Bar crossbars with what I believe are Aero 400 footings. I’m not quite sure the specifics of the fit kit that’s on it and if it’s compatible with my car. I drive a 2018 Toyota Corolla with a naked roof. Will this roof rack fit my car? If not, are there available fit kits or footings that can be adapted so it can be compatible?

Jon G.

1/8/2021

The old Thule 400 foot pack is now obsolete along with the fit kit that is compatible with it. We have some replacement parts for the 400 feet but if you're wanting a fit kit you'll have to look at resale shops and such. You will need the fit kit 1746. (Attached is an old install video of this on a '17 Corolla) I'm linking the fit guide for roof racks that fit your 2018 Toyota Corolla. The Thule fit kit for the newer crossbars is different than what is used for the system you currently own so you'd need the entire Thule roof rack. Thule is on the higher end of the price margin so if you want something cost-effective and good quality I recommend the Inno square bar system which includes parts # INB127, # INSUT, and # INK306.

I have an HHR and am interested in changing the roof racks from front to back into going side to side .. Any problems there .??

Jon G.

12/17/2020

If your Chevy HHR has raised side rails then you need to use a roof rack that is designed to attach to those side rails and cross over the width of your vehicle. You should try to disconnect those raised rails and use them like regular crossbars because they aren't designed to hold equipment like that. If you use our fitguide you can see what roof rack options will fit your HHR.

Jon G.

12/1/2020

I really like the Yakima FreshTrack # Y03092 because it is easy to use/adjust, and you have the ability to use the built-in lift if any of your bindings will be making contact with your roof. As far as a roof rack goes, the aftermarket options usually give you more flexibility in what accessories you can use so I recommend going that route. I'm attaching a link to our selection for your 2017 RAV4 but if you can confirm whether you have the raised rails or a naked roof I can make a recommendation for you.

@EvanY In that case I highly recommend the 50" Yakima JetStream Bars # Y00425 and TimberLine Towers # Y00147 because it's not only a great roof rack system, but you either wait and order locks that match what come with the ski carrier or you can get the 6-pack lock kit # Y07206 so that your roof rack and ski carrier have matching locks.

Jon G.

11/9/2020

I recommend using the Yakima JetStream crossbar system which includes the 50" crossbars # Y00425, SkyLine Towers # Y00148, and the Landing Pad 1 # Y00221. This should be compatible with pretty much any tent system as it has a weight capacity of 165 lbs and it attaches to fixed mounting points. The 165 lb weight capacity is dynamic (moving). The static weight capacity will be enough to support a tent and people. I recommend checking the instructions for the roof tent that you are interested in because they normally have instructions on what is needed for a roof rack.

Jon G.

11/3/2020

If you are talking about a factory roof rack on your LEER camper then you can pretty much use any of our roof cargo carriers as they mount on crossbars. If, however, you mean you just have the flush rails that run back to front then I recommend using the Yakima LockNLoad # Y05045 which will mount directly to those rails when paired with 2 of the Landing Pad 1 Kit # Y00221, the SkyLine Towers # Y00148, and the SL Adapter Kit # Y05042-2.

11/3/2020

@JonG Thank you. I have just the flush rails running from front to back. I need the feet and cross bars to move forward with getting a cargo carrier.

Jon G.

11/3/2020

@BrdaleyM The Yakima setup that I mentioned above will mount directly on the towers that attach to the flush rails. This eliminates the extra cost of crossbars and the mounting hardware for the basket to the crossbars, plus it will still allow you to move the basket forward or backward depending on your application.

Putting bar racks on roof of a 2019 Promaster for a solar shower system. It appears the Rhino Rack is the most compatible. I need 3" between roof and bottom of rack feet to clear the small portion of the solar panels already installed. What is the clearance from the bottom of the feet to the bottom of the bar. Thinking of using the aero bar. Thanks,

Jon G.

10/7/2020

The Rhino-Rack system will be close. I know the legs are 2" tall and then you'll get some of the height of that tall bracket depending on where you are measuring from for your 3". If you're measuring at the top of the dips on your roof then I don't think you'll have quite 3" of clearance, but if you are measuring at the bottom of the dips in your roof then you should be just fine. It's also worth mentioning that this roof rack system has both of the bars towards the back of the van so if your solar is at and in front of the sliding door you won't have to worry about roof rack clearance.

Chuck R.

10/7/2020

@JonG Jon, Measuring from the mount location to the top of the solar panel=3" tight. Maybe to close for comfort? Thanks,

Jon G.

@ChuckR It will clear 3" but I'm not sure by how much. If you're wanting significant clearance then I don't think this option will work for you.

My 2020 CRV currently has a naked roof, and roof rails from Honda are on an indefinite back order, so I am interested in some aftermarket cross bars. I was looking at the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars. Am I correct that these will fit my naked roof and attached to my roof rails? (Whenever I'm able to get them). I have an existing Thule Ski rack, so I thought going with Thule Crossbars was a safe bet to ensure they'll fit.

Jon G.

9/23/2020

The 53" Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 will definitely work for your application. Since your 2020 Honda CR-V has a naked roof you're going to need the Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501 as well as the Fit Kit # TH145046. The parts that you need for the flush mounted rails are a little different though so you will need a whole new setup if you plan on installing the flush rails.

@JonG Hi Jon, a whole new set up meaning I'll need different feet #TH460R and fit kit #THKIT3166? But I won't have to replace the Thule WingBar # TH711420?

Jon G.

9/24/2020

@KeelieC You'll actually need the 47" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711220 instead because the Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R and Fit Kit # THKIT3166 will sit further in than the legs and fit kit needed if you have a naked roof.

I have a 2019 Dodge Gran Caravan. I want to install a roof basket so I can attach my ARB 8' awning to it. The awning is 35 lbs. Will a roof basket that attaches to my OEM cross bars work ? Will my OEM cross bars support the roof basket ?

Jon G.

9/19/2020

Your OEM crossbars should be sufficient enough to support a roof basket. The real question though is how does your awning attach to the roof? Most awnings have T-Slot accessories to mount inside a channel or clamp-style mounts to attach to the crossbars - neither of which usually attached directly to a roof basket. If you can give me some more details about your awning I can help you find out what will work best.

Cooper

9/19/2020

Thank you for your quick response. The ARB awning does come with the T slot bolts. I intended to somehow attach the ARB awning with ARB "L brackets" (that I have) designed for the T slots, directly to the basket. The brackets are L type brackets made especially for ARB awnings. The brackets have 3 holes to accept the awning t nuts and 2 holes to attach to the basket. I would need a flat surface (on the roof basket) on the side of basket to securely attach them to.

Jon G.

9/21/2020

@Cooper From the way you are describing things it sounds like you're looking more for a roof platform rack as opposed to an actual basket. For your application I'd check out the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack which can install directly to your crossbars and comes as the part # RR42114BF which is 48" long x 38" wide or the part # RR42115BF which is 58" long x 47" wide.

The Inno and Rhino-Rack brands are middle-of-the-road while Thule and Yakima are on the higher end of quality and ease of use. I've also attached links to our selection of fishing rod carriers that mount to crossbars as well as paddle board carriers.

Jon G.

9/11/2020

That depends on what roof rack system you're looking at getting as this can vary between manufacturers. For the Rhino-Rack roof rack you're looking at 25-19/32" between the centers of the crossbars with the center of the front crossbar being 9-27/32" in front of that pillar. For the Inno system you're looking at 11.7" for both the front and the rear in regards to that center pillar.

Jon G.

8/25/2020

The Thule roof racks usually have about 3" of clearance under the crossbars. This is typically enough for a moonroof or sunroof to open up but Thule doesn't recommend doing this just to make sure that nothing gets damaged. Opening up the sun/moonroof also means that you will likely get some of that wind noise since you'll be changing the airflow.

Are rails only available from Mazda? Not sure how much weight capacity I need , but it looks like factory rails rated Only up to 100lbs. Not sure why but prefer 165lbs just in case. Interested in what options you folks might have available or direction to go on the actual rails. Thanks

For your application I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack Vortex roof rack which uses the following: 46" Bars - # RRVA118B-2 2500 Series Legs - # RRRLKVA Fit Kit - # DK289 Then for a cargo box/tray I'd say to use either the Inno Shaper 100 # INXA569 or Platform Rack # INA510 because these will look really clean and sporty on your Touring. If you still wanted to use a bag you can use the part # RL100R20.

Chris R.

5/19/2020

You'll want to add aftermarket crossbars to the factory side rails on your Land Cruiser (it looks like the Odyssey does clamp around the crossbars) for proper support. The Thule WingBar setup, parts # TH711420 and # TH450R will work perfectly. I actually recommend checking with Toyota directly regarding capacity - weight applied from a tent (and its inhabitants) is a bit different than what would otherwise be listed as a capacity in the owner's manual, since the vehicle isn't moving when the tent's being used. The roof (and rail's) capacity when parked is much higher than its dynamic capacity, which is what is normally looked at when adding roof top accessories.
