Question:
I drive a 2017 Ford Focus RS. Is there a roof mount cargo basket that will simply attach to the sides of the vehicle, so I can skip the step of ordering roof rails like the Thule WingBar Evo 135? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
To install a cargo basket on the roof for your 2017 Ford Focus the only option is by first installing a roof rack like the Thule Square bar rack # TH712400, # TH710501, and # TH145089 that fits your vehicle. There are Safari baskets like the one you referenced that can attach to raised side rails but none that can attach to a naked roof. Reason being that roof designs vary quite a bit so it would be really hard to come up with a suitable solution for that. That's why the most effective and easy solution is to first install a roof rack that fits the vehicle and then install a cargo basket onto the crossbars.
Then for a Surco Safari basket that was designed for Thule crossbars we have the # SPS4550-T400 which is 50 inches long by 45 inches wide.
