Will the Sunroof Panels on a 2016 Jeep Renegade Open with Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack Installed

Question:

Hello. Will this rack allow for the 2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk powered sunroof panels to open and tilt?

If the sunroof panels raise up higher than the tops of the side rails on your 2016 Jeep Renegade then they can make contact with some part of a roof rack such as # TH7503-TH7503. It is also possible to place the bars in such a way as to not block the path of the panels. What I recommend is to place the bars on the rails but do not strap them to the side rails. Then have someone watch from the outside (so they can move the bars if needed) while you open the panels. That will ensure that no damage is done to the vehicle.
