  • Rhino-rack RoofRrack Recommendation for 2017 Chevy Cruze Hatchback
  • You are correct. I checked with Thule and they still do not have a roof rack fit for your 2017 Chevy Cruze. That said the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK489 is a confirmed fit and is a great rack. The quality is right on par with Thule but is a little less expensive so it's a great value.

  • Roof Rack for 2014 Chevy Cruze
  • Unfortunately, SportRack doesn't offer the feet as a separate item. To fit your 2014 Chevy Cruze, you'd need to order the entire # SR1010 system. The SportRack roof racks are known as semi-custom roof racks, meaning that this particular rack will fit a number of different vehicles. The # SR1010 rack is a fit your Cruze, but for a tighter, better fitting custom option, I'd recommend the Square Bar rack from Rhino Rack, which consists of the following parts: Rhino Rack 2500 Series Crossbar,...
