Also, this carrier could be strapped to just the side rails

You wouldn't need the cross bars at all.

I attach mine to the cross bars, but I could just as easily attach it to the sides. The carrier sits on the roof almost exactly in the space between the 4 bars.

Agree on the hard carrier, but I didn't want to shell out the $$ on a Thule.

How much does it fit? We put a TON of stuff up on the roof. Vacuum pack

Very good point. I put hooks in the ceiling of my garage and put it there.

Honda cross bars are pretty simple but I think you need a star ratchet set.
