I have a solution for you, but unfortunately there are not any Thule roof racks available for a 2017 Chevy Traverse so you will need to go with a different setup. Since your roof is naked, meaning no factory rails, you will instead want to go with SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long - Black # 298-SX6000B. This is a universal round bar setup that attaches to your roof with 6 strong vacuum cups. This does not have a top track for channel-mounted accessories so you will want to make sure your accessories can clamp around round bars. These round bars are 48" long and 1-1/4" in diameter. The weight capacity is 150lbs for this system.

Make sure you never exceed the weight capacity of your roof; my research shows that it is 165lbs, but you will want to double check your owner's manual to be sure. If you are still unsure if your accessories will work or not with these crossbars, then feel free to provide the accessory's information and I will verify fitment for you. I attached a demonstration video for you.
