Question:
Thank you for your reply. I have GM crossbars that are attached front and back on the flush rails. They are 2 1/4 inches wide ( measured across the top) and 1 1/2 inches thick. Let me know if this helps

I am not sure which aftermarket rails you might be referring to. If you have flush rails running front to back and no crossbars then you will first need to install crossbars such as Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 along with Legs # RRSX040. Then you can add a roof basket like Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT.
The Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep # C18115 you were looking at is not able to fit around the Rhino-Rack crossbars. This basket can only fit up to 3" wide crossbars and the Rhino-Rack Vortex bars are 3-1/8" wide. The Thule basket I mentioned above will have no issue fitting the Rhino-Rack Vortex bars.
If I misunderstood and you actually do have crossbars running left to right, then let me know the width and height of your crossbars and I will find a cargo basket that fits it.
