If your vehicle has a roof rack or crossbars the straps will loop around the carrier and in most cases go over the top of the carrier to hold it in place. If you do not have a roof rack or crossbars then you may be able to attach the carrier by running the straps through the body of your car or by using clips that can be added to the straps and then attached to the rubber weather molding of your car. Most carrier manufacturer's have instructions on their websites showing how their carriers work so that you can determine which one will work best for your vehicle.
