Question:

I’ve got a 2009 Buick Enclave without a roof rack, will this bag work?

The Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag # RRLB350 is designed to secure around the rails of a roof cargo basket so since your 2009 Buick Enclave has flush mounted rails that the basket can't secure to you'll want to use a different bag like the Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30 which has the same general dimensions but comes with clips on the straps so that you can secure it to the door jamb area on your vehicle.

I also recommend making sure the roof of your Enclave is clean and free of any debris (especially small rocks or pebbles) and then using the Protection Pad # RL100650 that will protect your roof and also provide some extra grip for the bag to ensure that it doesn't move around while you're driving.
