Recommended Roof Rack for 2019 BMW X1

Question:

BMW X1 2019 ROOF RACK looking for recommendation. Car has the raised rails, Would like a bit of overhang on bars to tie down kayaks Also I'm concerned with regard to how high the rack will be as we (and we are 'old') will need to lift the kayaks onto the 'roof' kayak racks. Soo... can I get the measurements from the roof to the bottom of crossbars... or which make/model may have the smallest distance between roof & rail tnx

The best roof rack option we have for a 2019 BMW X1 with roof rails is the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH711220, part # TH710601, and part # TH186007. It provides an overhang for extra space and it has aero bars for sleek look. In regards to height, I don't have exact figures for you but most will be around the same height which is usually about 3-4" above the roof to the top of the crossbar.
