Is there any way to mount a cargo box to the roof without the optional rails? Remember these are frameless windows so cannot use the hook method that bewteen door and door ring.

I have the hitch option to haul bicycles. My last two vehicles had roof rails I never used. Thus, trying to skip this option.

Same here. Don't think this will become available from manufactures like Thule. You can however get a Thule Arcos Large Box if absolutely needed.

:CWL:. Unless you have a weekly hobby requiring roof rales, better renting equipment you can't fit in (kid's surfboards in our case).

Forgot about Seasucker! So there are solutions which is good for me because my order locked early just two days ago.
