2011 Ford Escape Roof Rack Side Rail Crossbar Recommendation

Question:

I have a 2011 Ford Escape XLT. It has roof rack side rails. If I remove them and replace them with this part, will I need to drill new holes or will the existing holes match this part? Also what size bolts come with this part? Thanks in advance for your reply.

If you were looking for an easy crossbar solution for the raised rails of your 2011 Ford Escape XLT the Curt roof rack part # C18118 would be a great choice. But the side rail kit part # RR43144B is not a rail system that would fit your Escape's roof since it was designed to fit a cargo carrier tray instead.
