Thule Evolution. Fits the factory wagon cross bars set at any distance apart. Max is close to the length of the cross rails with the factory bars. Never liked the factory bars all that much though. I end up going around and around the car making sure the bar is centered properly between the sliding clamps and that the clamps are actually clamping correctly on the rails as you try turn the plastic handle on the screw while avoiding the sharp edges on the clamp. The cheezy plastic anti-theft shells soon flew off as they can seem locked when they're not and the clamps pretty much fall off the bars when you try to store the contraptions as the little plastic plugs that are supposed to prevent this will fly off once the anti-theft shell flies off. BUT- they are very sturdy and secure bars once mounted correctly.
Also, the Thule can be securely mounted over the sunroof with the bar just behind the sunroof so you can still tilt it if you want with the carrier mounted. Something to check with other boxes if you want to tilt the sun roof with the carrier on top.
