Can Thule Podium Feet be Used for Roof Rack on 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Question:
Received the information, I was extremely impressed by the prompt and detailed response time. Due to the height of the Jeep and the fact that both my wife and myself are both under 6 foot tall, getting our kayaks on the racks might be a challenge. We are debating if we should rather attached racks to my wife's 2020 Mazda CX5. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the black and chrome track, flush mounted rails that run front to back (see attached) then you will be able to reuse the Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R that you currently have with the Fit Kit # THKIT3142.
According to Thule though your 47" AeroBlade crossbars are too short and you'll need at least the 53" crossbars. These are now available as the WingBar Evo and we have them in Black # TH711420 as well as Silver # TH711400.
If you don't have the black and chrome track then let me know what you have and we can figure out what parts you'll need.
