Expert Reply:
The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack with the Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRVA126B-2, 2500 Series Leg Kit, # RRRLKVA, and the Custom DK Clamps and Pads, # DK381, will fit a 2013 Nissan Altima, however the Yakima Sidewinder Tandem Bike Rack is only compatible with round crossbars.
According to my contact at Yakima, Yakima does not offer an adapter that will allow the Sidewinder bike rack to be used with elliptical style crossbars because the weight of the bike rack and a tandem bike would be too great for the adapters and an elliptical style rack.
To use your Yakima Sidewinder bike rack with a 2013 Nissa Altima, you will need the Yakima RoundBar Roof Rack. This roof rack consists of 48 inch round crossbars # Y00408, BaseLine towers # Y28TR, RoundBar adapter # Y03536, and BaseClips # Y06137 and # Y06127.
