Question:
Can I fit a Highland Cargo Bags,Roof Cargo Carrier - 1039800, on my 2011 Nissan Rogue with factory roof railing?
asked by: Jonathan
Expert Reply:
Yes, you can attach the Highland KarPak Rooftop Cargo Carrier Bag, # 1039800, to the roof of your 2011 Nissan Rogue, with factory raised rails that run front to back on the roof. The bag has 6 compression straps and plastic clips designed for securing the bag.
You will need to make sure that the bag can be installed and secured in such a way that bag has minimal movement when accelerating and stopping, to avoid damage to the roof of your vehicle. I normally recommend the use of cross bars when installing a cargo bag for safety and to avoid damage to the vehicle.
If you cannot secure the bag with minimal movement, cross bars would be recommended. I would recommend the Thule Complete Crossroad Kit, # TH45050, for your Rouge. I linked installation instructions and a video install that should be helpful.
