Odyssey car top carrier?
My son has an Acura MDX ( Which I believe is similar to the Honda Odyssey)
and he wants to put a "s-car-go" type enclosed cartop carrier on it. The MDX has no gutter, nor any ridges etc. to which we might affix the straps. His model did not come with a car-top carrier in place. Any one here solved the problem?? Help please, as his trip approaches the end of this week. Thanks RG |

Thanks RG -------------------- RG, Can't the dealer where he bought it come up with a solution? If i bought a brand new Acura, I'd expect the dealer to be helpful. Here in Edmonton, there's a place called 'Racks For Cars', and their catalog has the answers to ALL such questions. If you're near a major city, check the Yellow pages. Google Search should find your answer too. 'Curly' -- |

Re: Odyssey car top carrier?
The S-Cargo mounts on a factory type roof rack as it has clamps to fit the
cross bars. If you have nothing up there, you'll have to install either a yakima/thule rack system, or install a factory type roof rack.....depending on the installation flexibility, side rails may also be the minimum you need...but my friends who have these clamshell roof boxes all have them affixed to cross bars.

Re: Odyssey car top carrier?
Also check out the after market rack systems from Thule or Yakima.
yakima.com or thuleracks.com. You can get ANY type of carrier adapter to fit onto either ones tubes that mount to every type of car. Good Thuling!
