Recommended Roof Rack For 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee With E Group Package
Question:
Hello. I have a Thule 480 Traverse bare roof set up with the sq bars. I have changed cars and now have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with E group chrome topped recessed rails. If I buy the 3142 fit Kit that fits the Jeep is there a way to use the 480 Traverse towers? or is there a different fit kit that would still fit the Jeep rails and work with the 480 tower and square bars? Thanks

Expert Reply:
There is not a fit with your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee With E Group package for your Thule 480 Traverse towers, but I do have compatible roof rack for your vehicle that is similar. You will just need the Thule Podium Roof Mounted Foot Pack # TH460R along with the fit kit # THKIT3142. Then you have a choice of the new Thule SquareBar # TH712400 or the Thule Wingbar Evo 53" # TH711420 which will be a little quieter and gives you the top channel mount as well for a clean look.
If you have the locking cylinders from your Traverse towers, you can transfer them to the Podium Foot Pack. If not, I recommend the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4 # TH450400 to secure your investment.
