Roof Rack Recommendations For 2018 Chevy Equinox With Naked Roof
Question:
Am trying to source side rail racks for my 2018 chev equinox. It has the channel moulding on both sides and under it is the 4 mounting bolts. I am looking for the complete kit which comes with the front moulding pieces that go from the rail to the front of veh and the mounting nuts.

I have a solution for you, but we do not have the replacement factory side rails for the roof of your 2018 Chevy Equinox. It sounds like your roof is bare without any rails, in which case I recommend just adding the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # RR53TR. This is an aerodynamic and low-profile roof rack that simply attaches to the door jams on your Equinox and you do not need rails for this. I highly recommend going this route due to ease of installation and use.
Another option, which would consist of much more work, would be to install Rhino-Rack Tracks # RRRTV128, Legs # RRRLT600, Spacers # RRQMVA05, and 54" Crossbars # RRVA137B-2. This is a similar setup to the camper shell roof rack that you were originally looking at. This does require drilling into the roof to secure the tracks, whereas the Rhino-Rack # RR53TR mentioned above does not require drilling and would be a much easier option. I attached a demonstration video for you.
