Recommended Roof Rack for a 2015 Acura RDX with Raised Rails

Question:

Hi - we have 2015 Acura RDX 2015 with flush mounted rails - could you tell me if this will fit? if not, what crossbars do you recommend?

I have a solution for you, but the Rola Sport REX Series Roof Rack is not a confirmed fit on the flush mounted side rails on your 2015 Acura RDX. Instead, I recommend using the Yakima Roof Rack Kit for 2015 Acura RDX that uses parts # Y00422 and # Y33TR because it's going to give you a high quality Yakima rack at a similar price point. Yakima products are backed by a lifetime limited warranty, so you're getting a high quality rack that will last a long time.

For added security, I also recommend adding lock cores to the towers with part # Y07204, which are lock cores that are compatible with the Yakima Same Key System (SKS). These will replace the plastic lock cores and make sure that the towers are protected from being removed from the vehicle.

I've also linked a review video of this roof rack for you to have a look at.
