Question:

I own a 2023 Acura MDX w/ tech AWD. I have no roof rails to support a set of cross bars. Do you have a product for me to be able to utilize carrying luggage on the roof?

Expert Reply:

Yes, I recommend installing the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack on your 2023 Acura MDX with the naked roof. I prefer this rack as it has an aerodynamic crossbar which uses a 2 piece channel seal which allows you to easily attach and remove most accessories without the need to cut the channel seals. You will need the Crossbars # TH711520, Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH22AE.

Then you will be able attach a Cargo Box # TH615 or Basket # TH859XT for carrying your your luggage on the roof. If you opt for the Cargo Box # TH615 to keep your gear secure and dry I recommend also getting the Lock Set # TH450800. This will allow you to place 4 of the 8 lock cores on the feet for the rack to secure it to the roof and then you can replace the included locks on the box so you will have all the locks use the same key.
