Question:
Will these work if they are mounted on the top of the roof instead of the side?

Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you, but you cannot mount the Thule # TH542 on the roof of your vehicle and still have a secure mounting point for the towers of a roof rack.
From what I was able to determine, the 2016 Ford Explorer came standard with flush mounted roof rails. For this reason you can use the Rhino Rack # RRRCP45-BK, # RRRCH4 and # RRVA137B-2 to give yourself a complete roof rack for your Explorer.The Rhino Rack is a great option because it provides you with a high quality and durable roof rack at a lower price point than some of the other roof racks on the market.
I've linked a video review and installation of this roof rack on a similar Ford Explorer that you can check out and see how it will look and how easy it is to install.
