I have a great roof rack solution for your 2017 Acura RDX with a bare roof. Unfortunately, I spoke to my tech at Thule, and the former fit kit that was available for your vehicle (Thule part KIT1724) is discontinued. For this reason, there are no available Thule roof racks that are compatible with your bare roof.
With that being said, Yakima has a similar high-quality roof rack that compares to a Thule system. For that setup, I recommend the following parts:
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long # Y00426
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06148
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06105
- Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204
With this roof rack, you get the benefit of an extremely aerodynamic system and a factory style that is expected from a quality crossbar system. The JetStream crossbars include built-in WindRidges to reduce wind noise and control air flow. It also comes with a black powder coat finish that resists rust and corrosion. As far as weight capacity, the roof rack provides your vehicle with 165 pounds of capacity. I recommend consulting with your Acura owner's manual to make sure your roof can handle the weight you wish to transport.
