    Snowboard rack

    Hey everybody I'm new on here and was hoping for some help. I have a 2003 for explorer sport and was looking to put a ski/snowboard rack on the top of my explorer. I was wondering if I have to have a crossbar installed first or can I get away with just using the side rails? Thanks
