Thanks for your question, Daniel!
After doing some research on your Element, your crossbar spread is 30". Most baskets are adjustable and have a range of spreads like part # Y07080 can fit on crossbar spreads between 30" - 38" and is 52" long x 48" wide x 6-1/2" tall. The biggest basket we have that can mount on the 30" crossbar spread is part # TH859XT-8591XT which is 69" long x 40" wide x 6" tall with the extension it comes with and will work with your spread with or without the extension.
I wouldn't put anything else on the roof if you are going to go with the absolute maximum basket size you can get.
The only question I have now is to know what kind of gear you are going to be hauling on the roof of your Element.
