Replying to: sdirghalli (Dec 03, 2007 12:01 pm) Hi there. I was just wondering if you found any roof rails (I mean, the non dealership ones) that worked for you and if you were able to install them yourself. I have this same problem with the same auto, 2006 LX, and it's so annoying! Thanks-Kim

Replying to: mike072 (Jan 18, 2007 5:32 pm) I just purchased a used 2006 Honda Pilot that does not have the cross bars for the luggage rack. I would like to add my Yakima bike racks to the top. I am interested in your post showing you did this. Can you provide more data on what the parts are you used?   Thanks!
#34 of 40 2004 Pilot & Thule Quest Cartop Bag by pam31 Apr 06, 2009 (6:19 am)
I have a 2004 Pilot with roof rails but no cross bars. I just bought the Thule Quest cartop bag and the instructions say "when mounting on luggage racks with side rails only, position bag so that both side anchoring rings are forward of the center support post." I take that to mean it is safe to use the bag without cross bars. Does anyone have any experience with this? We're planning a 5 hour interstate drive soon. We've never used a cartop carrier/bag before and my husband is squeamish because he has a friend who lost one on the interstate. Thanks. Replies to this message: shanmarie99 (May 14, 2009 1:32 pm)

Replying to: abryce41 (Feb 10, 2008 7:11 pm) I do have some advice. 1. The picture looks like they are removing the front. This is incorrect. You only need to remove the back covers. 2. Even with the retaining clip depressed, you still need to give it a good hard whack straight back (away from the van). I used a wooden paint stick and put it inside the rail groove. Tapping it with a screwdriver is not hard enough, you need to thump it pretty hard. I actually used a small rubber mallet. It did not damage the retaining clip. 3. Do not try to pry the cover up. It will crack. 4. Do not climb on top of the van. If it is like mine, it will dent pretty easily.   Good Luck

Replying to: pam31 (Apr 06, 2009 6:19 am) I was just wondering how your trip went. I just bought same bag and have a Pathfinder with only side rails. I find the instructions confusing as it seems as if they are telling you to mount the bag between the front support and center support, but the picture looks as if the anchoring ring is BEHIND the center support. I'm confused. Ten hour drive for us tomorrow and I was hoping to figure this out!

This cargo bag requires cross bars OR rails     http://www.carspace.com/bigdadi118/Albums/bigdadi118%27s%20Album/Yakima_GetoutCa- rgoBag.jpg/page/photo.html#pic Replies to this message: pam31 (May 15, 2009 5:07 am)

Replying to: bigdadi118 (May 14, 2009 6:56 pm) I actually bought a Thule cargo bag but I was also confused about that because in the Thule instructions, it looked the same way. I figured out that I was imagining the front of the car on the wrong end (the picture wasn't clear). I bet I read the instructions ten times! I finally figured it out by paying more attention to the fact that on mine, the zipper goes in the back so that if you unzip all the way and flip it open, the flap falls toward the front windshield. Anyway, I attached the cargo bag very tightly using only side straps (2 on each side) and it was fine for the 5 hour trip - except that it rained and it isn't waterproof. A few things got soggy. Also no problem on the drive home. Good luck!
