Recommended Malone AirFlow2 Crossbar Length for 2008 Nissan Rogue

Question:

Good evening, Im a bit confused about the universial Malone Airflow 2 racks that are designed to be mounted to a side rail. Malones website lists the 58inch model of this product as compatible with my 2008 Nissan Rogue but your website says only the 50 inch model is compatible. Ideally Id like the 58 but based off the conflicting information Im not sure if it would fit. Please advise. Thanks,

Malone typically recommends their crossbar fits a little longer than what is standard, mainly because they deal a lot in watercraft carriers that often require larger crossbar spreads and lengths. With that being said, both the 50 inch Malone AirFlow2 # MPG215 and the 58 inch # MPG216 that you referenced will fit the factory side rails on your 2008 Nissan Rogue and work well. Because the feet on the crossbars can adjust along the entire length of the bars, the actual fitment on your vehicle will not change between the two models. The longer 58 inch bars will simply extend out past the feet a bit more.

I have attached an installation video for this system on a later model Nissan Rogue that you can also take a look at.
