Is there Enough Clearance Between 2012 Chevy Equinox and Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Kayak Carriers
Question:
Looking to install onto 2012 Chevy Equinox. Then add clamp on kayak racks I already ow. What is the distance from the top of the crossbar to the top of the car roof? Im trying to determine if there is enough clearance for the clamp and bolts that extend below the kayak rack. I need at least 2.75 inches clearance

Expert Reply:
There is a lot of space between the bottoms of the bars on roof rack # RRVA118B-2 and the roof of your 2012 Chevy Equinox. I don't have an exact amount but it is greater than 2-3/4 inches. Take a look at the picture I have included showing the rack installed.
You will also need fit kit # DK226, and feet # RRRLKVA.
