Yes they will work but, you need the rail kit that goes inside of your rails. So...you need additional items. I got mine from the local chevy dealer but I'm sure you can find them elsewhere. They are 2 metal Channels that screw inside the side rail and then the cross rail screws to those metal channels.

They may.....go on the traverse owners forums on the web....there are 2 types of rails. You can find what will fit. A lot of folks get the wrong one.

You can buy a complete kit, that includes the c bars and roof racks, the c bars are the ones you need to attached the roof racks.

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 2013 Traverse and the part was a waste of money. The side rails my Traverse came with do not accommodate the cross Rails I purchased. In order for the cross rails to fit I have to purchase a new set of side rails that the dealership sells for 300 each side. Therefore, I have the cross rails I purchased off Amazon collecting dust in my garage.

I really can not say on your car without seeing it. I can only tell you that your car needs to have a bumper or spoiler that has a flat mounting base for the plate to be bolted to. The plate mount will reduce your clearance by about an inch, which may create a problem since your suspension has already been lowered. Maybe you can mount the workings above your spoiler or bumper in your grill. Where ever you mount, you will require enough depth in or under your grill to allow the plate to fold inside.I mounted my plate under the spoiler on my 2012 Challenger and looks and works just fine. Look at a Challenger and compare to your car. Good luck. I really can not say on your car without seeing it.

If you have a 2011-2014 Traverse then this will fit. (2010 was some kind of transition year but most of these fit also) All the holes and captured nuts are already on the vehicle. There is no drilling. The five existing bolts holding each trim rail are removed with a torx wrench and the same bolts are used to fasten the C-channel over the top. As someone else suggested, I would put some RTV sealer in those holes before you fasten the bolts back, just to make sure. If you have done anything on a car before this is fairly easy. Pay attention to the cross rail direction as the ribbed ends should be facing forward, and the trim covers are labeled R and L. Don't ask me if I initially paid attention to this. This kit fit perfectly on my 2014. The cross rails go on with "security style torx bolts" which are supplied along with a security wrench, apparently to discourage theft. The cross bars look great and the vehicle looks more like it's ready to take on the world.

I have a 2014 Limited but I'm assuming the roof rails are the same as on the Laredo, as my roof rails also lay flat on the roof. The crossbars clamp into the groove that runs the length of the rails and fit snugly once you tighten them up with the Allen wrench provided. Just make sure you loosen the Allen head bolts prior to fitting them into the groove but don't remove them completely, just enough so the clamp part dangles freely and allows you to fit them into the groove before tightening.

It will depend upon the carrier. If the carrier can be mounted without using side rails as attachment points, then you would be okay. There are no side rail (front -to-back) attachment points because these rails blend into the roof over their whole length and they have no perforations.

Good day, Unfortunately, out of the ten systems we offer, due to the design of your roof, none will be compatible. We do offer additional and specific fits under our Thule line of products. Thanks!

I don't know about particular cars, but this is what I did before I purchased these racks (which have so far been awesome): - Measure the width of the roof of your car. Do this in the two places you expect to place the individual cross bars. My car roof (Volvo V50) is slightly tapered near the rear; not sure if this is universally true though. - Correlate this rough measurement with the appropriate model of SportRacks. There is a size chart somewhere detailing how far the bars expand. Pick a size that will accommodate your car roof (if in doubt, overestimate the width of your roof so the bars aren't too small; they can always be cut). - The measurements you take don't need to be precise. If the size of your roof is in-between or on the cusp of two rack lengths, go with the larger option. As to the mounting mechanisms, they are very adjustable to fit a variety of doors. I messed with mine for about 15min before getting a stable fit and then mimicked that setting on the remaining three mounts. It wasn't difficult at all. So far, so good with these bars, and I've done a ton of highway driving here in Alaska with a roofbox mounted on them (against the advice of SportRack!).

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.

I don't have a Rav 4 to answer with certainty (I bought the racks, but don't work for the company) but the racks seem to attach to vehicle cross bars that are 3 inches wide or less. The racks have an extra deep notch to mount on square or round cross bars about 1.5 inches or less wide. An important note, your vehicle rack must have cross bars on your rack, bars that go left to right from the driver's side to the passenger side that connect the main roof rack on the car that runs front to back. I don't think the rack will attach to just the side rails (the ones that go back to front), they just attach to the cross bars between the side rails.

Best to check with your dealer as to whether there were any design changes that affect the roof rack. This rack does fit my 2012 model and sofar I have had no noise or any other problems with instillation or use.

2015 looks similar to my 2012...but I don't know if they have exact same roof rail specs. Sorry...check with your local dealer and ask for part # to see if it matches. Good luck!

You will have to remove the rock rails. These side rails use the same drilled holes the rock rails are already posted on.

Sure thing. Not shown in the photo are the 2 roof struts that come up from the base of the seat, at the armrest. Those struts go up to the roof and provide rear roof support. Our cart is a 2000 EZGo and the distance between the base of the seat and the back of the roof was almost 4 inches. I wrote the manufacturer and he said they would all line up when we screwed everything together, but it was clear that would not be stable. So we made extenders (a pipe cutter and pipe from Home Depot) and attached them to the struts. Then the struts were at 90 degree angle to the roof. I wish this let me add a photo and I would show you. It worked well. Sure thing. Not shown in the photo are the 2 roof struts that come up from the base of the seat, at the armrest.

Good morning, I do not have the length of these racks, but it is not necessary because they can be adjusted +/- a couple of inches. They did not fit on my 2012 rogue, not because of the length but because of poor manufacturing. the rear rack was just a bit twisted and this implied I could screw it on one roof rail, but not the other as the matching holes were about 3 inches off the holes in the rail; bending the rack to meet the holes would have put stress on the rack and very likely break it, so I returned the racks. In fact I did purchase 2 sets of these racks from 2 different Amazon vendors. the first set did not work because of the problem just mentioned and I returned it, the second set was exactly the same from the same manufacturer in China and had the same problem, I also returned it. One vendor reimbursed racks and shipping and return, the second did not and I had to file a complain with Amazon. at the end the racks were reimbursed but not the return shipment. I still don't have a rack on my Rogue and found out I don't really need it! Good luck

Same as the others. You need to install on the cross bars not the side rails.

They should if you have the factory-installed, built-in-the -headrest kind. I have a traverse ltz and they work great.

Not sure what size "pod" you have but I have the Thule Force Roof Box and it works great with this rack on our 2012 Traverse.
