Roof Rack for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with All Black Flush Mounted Side Rails

Question

Question:

Hi Im looking for a roof racks and I was checking Rola 59967 AP-GTX Series. But Im not sure if I can use them. I have a 2018 Gran Cherokee Altitude but the roof side rails do not have the chrome session that I see in other photos. So I dont know if these racks will fit my car.

I do have a solution for you, however the Rola Sport GTX Series Roof Rack referenced in your question will not fit the all black flush mount rails on your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

This is because this particular system and many others for your Jeep are only designed to mount to the channel that is present along the chrome section of the side rails that are on the Grand Cherokee that is equipped with the "E Group" package. I have attached an image to clarify this. Since your rails are all black they do not have this channel (and your Jeep doesn't have the E Group package).

For a roof rack that will work great on your Jeep I recommend the Rhino Rack Vortex System that consists of # RRVA137B-2 for the two 54" Vortex Bars in Black or # RRVA137S-2 for Silver, # RRRLKVA for the 2500 Series Legs, and # DK234 for the Fit Kit. This will provide you with an extremely sleek and quiet rack that features a weight capacity of 165 pounds.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this rack that you can also check out.
