To install a roof cargo box on your 2012 Nissan Versa 5-Door Hatchback you will need to install a roof rack with crossbars that will run from side to side. When installing a roof rack on your vehicle the crossbars will be set at a fixed spread of about 28 inches between the crossbars, and is not adjustable.
The SportRack Explorer Cargo Box, part # A90095, will need to use a crossbar spread of 24 inches, so it is not recommended for your application. I would recommend to use the SportRack Aero XL Cargo Box, part # A90275. This cargo box will fit a roof rack that can have a crossbar spread of 24 to 34 inches.
For a roof rack I would recommend the SportRack Frontier Roof Rack, part # A21002S. This roof rack will clamp to your roof and door jambs and give you the crossbars that are needed for installing the cargo box to your roof. I am including a link to a video of the roof rack being installed on a vehicle. The vehicle is different but the installation will be similar.
