The Yakima FatCat EVO 6 Locking Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Carrier # Y03096, or the Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Locking Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Carrier # Y03095, will fit directly to the T-Slot of your roof rack but only with the adapting hardware kit. The necessary hardware can be found in the Aero Crossbar SmarT-Slot Kit 2 for Yakima FatCat Ski and Snowboard Carriers # Y03098. I spoke with my contact at Yakima and confirmed this hardware is what you will need to mount the FatCat to your crossbar's T-Slot.

None of the Yakima Ski and Snowboard carriers will fit 4-1/2 inch wide bars without the T-Slot Adapter, so that is your best route. Let me know if you have further questions. I've attached some videos to assist.
