Crossbar Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Toyota RAV4 with Raised Side Rails
Question:
What the difference between the Malone MPG216 and MPG217? I just purchase the Yamaha Showdown Kayak load assistance. The product states that I need an extra 3 1/2 inch for the product to work and not hit the side of the car when loading the kayak. 2018 Toyota Rav4 Adventure Trim

Expert Reply:
For your 2018 Toyota RAV4 with factory raised roof side rails we have crossbar roof racks that are a fit but not from Malone as they recommend the smaller # MPG215.
Instead your best option is the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401, 47" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711220, as well as locks # TH450400.
The Thule crossbars work great with the Yakima Showdown part # Y04081 that you have.
