Recommended Roof Rack Crossbar Options for 2017 Chevy Equinox With Factory Roof Side Rails
Question:
My 2017 Chevy Equinox has the side rails that run along the edge of the roof, but I want to install cross bars. I saw what Yakima and Thule are getting for them, and I was frightened to death! Is there something that would provide the oval shaped bars (I understand they are quieter) and a price that will still allow my family to eat?

Yakima and Thule do make a high quality product, but they do get every penny for it. Another brand name you might not be so familiar with is Inno. They are very well known on the west coast, but not necessarily in the rest of the country. Inno offers high quality roof roof rack components at a lower price than their main competitors. I'd recommend the Inno Aero Crossbar system, which would consist of the following parts:
Inno Aero Crossbars, in black # INXB123-2
Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars, part # INXS150
Inno also offers many different roof rack accessories, such as:
Tire Hold II Roof Bike Rack # INA389,
Locker 1 Canoe/Kayak or 2 SUP Board Carrier # INA446
11 Cubic Foot Wedge 660 Roof Cargo Box # INBRM660BK
