Roof Rack for a 2017 Ford Edge Titanium With Glass Roof
Question:
Good morning, We are looking to purchase a 2017 Ford Edge Titatnium with the huge sun roof. They are telling me we can not get a roof rack installed because of the sun roof. I didnt know if there was another option for we really like the car. Thank you!

You can actually obtain a roof rack for a 2017 Ford Edge Titanium. According to my resarch the only real issues you may have are reduced capacity of 100 pounds and not being able to operate the opening or closing mechanism of the roof while the rack is installed.
Your 100 pound capacity will include the weight of the rack, the weight of any accessories and any cargo loaded onto the vehicle.
I would still exercise caution when loading accessories onto the roof rack, as there still is the risk of damage to the glass roof.
If your new vehicle has flush siderails, I recommend the Yakima kit, consisting of:
Yakima JetStream Crossbars, 50 Inches long, Silver, part # Y00425
RidgeLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars, part # Y00145
RidgeCLipClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Towers, part # Y89FR
Kit Weight: 17 Pounds
If your new vehicle has a naked roof, with no rails, I recommend the Yakima JetStream kit, consisting of:
Yakima JetStream Crossbars, 50 Inches long, Silver, part # Y00425
BaseLine Tower for Yakima Crossbars, part # Y28TR
BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Towers, part # Y06102
BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Towers, part # Y06139
Kit Weight: 17 Pounds
Remember when ordering this kit to order both part # Y06102 and part # Y06139 as they will fit different ends of the vehicle.
