Car Top Carriers installation depends on the type of carrier that you are using. A hard top carrier will normally attach to your vehicles cross bars. Depending on the type of soft top carrier that you select it may be able to attach to side bars, cross bars or even on a naked roof.
If you don't have a roof rack of any kind check the features of the carriers and see if they offer a method of attachment either through the vehicle or with clips to the rubber weather molding.
