Troubleshooting a Roof Rack System for Raised Side Rails on a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country
Question:
Hi I have a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country that came with side rails of the roof. I need to purchase cross bars/load bars to sit my kayaks on. Do I just need the bar and it hooks into my side rails that I already have? I dont know what I need. Can you help me out with this? Thank you!!!

Expert Reply:
There is not a confirmed fit from any of our manufacturers for your 2016 Chrysler Town and Country with raised side bars.
From the sounds of what you have, I recommend the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Factory Raised Rails # TH710401 along with 53 inch crossbars # TH711420 and locks # TH450400. The crossbar width is based on the compatible kits for racks without the side rails.
If you want a clamp on system, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 has 58 inch crossbars that may work well. Since these options are not confirmed to fit, the ratings on their capacities will not be accurate either.
For your kayaks, I recommend the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Fixed - Universal Mount # S510 along with the Expansion Arm for Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # RRS512X for the second kayak.
