Can 58 inch Malone Roof Rack Fit on 2012 Ford Escape with Raised Roof Rails

Question:

Hello, I have a 2012 Ford Escape Limited with factory rails and Im interested in the 58inch long Malone AirFlow2 roof rack. I will typically just be hauling 1 canoe or 1 kayak but occasionally would like to haul 2 kayaks. The 50inch model looks like the one is recommended for my vehicle but the 58inch might allow me to carry two kayaks but on the webpage the 58inch model says not confirmed to fitinch my vehicle. Do you know of any issue with using the 58inch model on my vehicle or have any other recommendations for what Im trying to do? Thanks

The longer crossbar 58 inch Malone Crossbar Kit part # MPG216 will fit and work fine on your 2012 Ford Escape with raised roof rails that run front to back.

Malone recommends the 50 inch version of this part # MPG215 but you'd be fine with the longer bars. They would just overhang a bit more.
