Recommended Crossbars for Ski Carrier on 2011 Nissan Rogue with Raised Side Rails

Question:

I have a 2011 Nissan Rogue and am interested in purchasing the RR576 6 ski, 4 snowboard carrier. My car has the stock roof rails but doesnt have the cross member. I need a cross member that can be secured. What cross member does e-trailer sell for this vehicle?

In order to use the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier part # RR576 or one like it on a 2011 Nissan Rogue with raise side rails you just need a set of crossbars. There are a few options out there for this but perhaps the best value option is the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG215. This system simply grabs onto the raised side rails and then provides connection points for the carrier. It has aero shaped bars which are very wind resistance and due this shape are the most widely compatible with different types of rooftop mounted accessories. Therefore, if you ever want to carry any other items such as kayaks or fishing poles, etc. you will be covered. They also have built-in locks for security.
