Because of the design of the My Sky sunroof on the 2017 Jeep Renegade, there won't be a roof rack available that is going to allow you to open the sunroof with it attached; you'll still be able to put a roof rack on your vehicle, but you won't be able to open the roof with the system installed.

With that said, the Rhino Rack roof rack that uses parts # RRSX100 and # RRVA126B-2 you were looking at is a really nice choice. You may want to consider adding the end caps with the metal locks that are available with Rhino-Rack Locking Endcaps for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Metal Cores - Qty 4 # RRVA-LEC4, which would give you a bit better security for your rack at a nice price.

I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out, as well.

Hi Nathan, The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs #RRRL110S5-2 are a fit for the gutters on your 2023 Jeep Wrangler, but they are only 4-5/16" tall so you'd likely run into clearance issues with the sky top. To confirm you can measure up 4-5/16"…
