How Do You Mount a Crossbar System on My 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokees Matte Black Flush Rails?
Question:
I have a 2018 GC Altitude. My runners are matte black, solid no slots and I cannot find how those work.

Many times, this style of flush factory side rails have fixed mounting points in the oval openings of the rails. Sometimes the manufacturer will put a small tab over the ovals that should be removed in order to mount a roof rack system. We do make roof racks that are compatible for this style of roof rack system on your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
For a compatible roof rack system, I recommend the following parts:
-Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2
- Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA
- Custom DK Fit Kit # DK234
With this roof rack setup, you will be able to mount accessories on your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with matte black flush rails.
