Roof Rack for 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude With Side Rails

Question

Question:

I cannot seem to find anybody who can tell me what roof rack that will be able to be installed on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude trim. It doesnt have rails, rather it has fake rails that are flush with the top of the vehicle. I want a roof rack for bikes, kayaks, random items that looks like it could be OEM.

Thanks for the photo, it was really helpful. Your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude has what are considered side rails, though you do not have the E Group package; if you did the rails would have a metal strip on top. The roof rack I strongly recommend for your '`5 Grand Cherokee Altitude is the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack because it gives your Jeep a rack that is highly functional with a refined look.

The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack is made up of Crossbars # RRVA137B-2, Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA and Fit Kit # DK234.

This roof rack uses aerodynamic bars that have rubber vortex strips in their top channels which greatly minimize the amount of wind noise you might encounter. The design of the bars, as well as their low profile, are what gives the rack a graceful look on top of your Jeep.

The crossbars are made from light but very strong anodized aluminum, which is also going to resist any type of corrosion. Additionally, the rack offers security in the form of built-in locks which secure the bars to your roof and will secure any channel-mounted carriers to the bars. I have added links to a couple video reivews of this rack for you to check out as well.

For your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the roof rack system is somewhat dependent on the e-group or without the e-group. The e-group package has a chrome strip on the top of the side rails and the non e-group does not. I'll give you both fit options.…
