What Roof Rack do You Recommend for My 2017 Ford Edge with a Naked Glass Panoramic roof?
Question:
Hi, Im not sure exactly what roof rack system I need for my vehicle. Its a 2017 Ford edge, panoramic naked roof. I just need to put my kayak on the roof a couple times a year so I want something removeable. I saw another question answered where this one was recommended but Im not finding it. Rhino Rack RS2500 # RRRS659B . Assistance would be appreciated. Thank you!

Since you mentioned the RS 2500, I believe you were looking at a rack like the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points RRRS367B. Unfortunately, Rhino-Rack does not make a RS 2500 roof rack model that works with your naked panoramic glass roof on your 2017 Ford Edge.
However, we do carry a similar style of roof rack that does fit. That is the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbars # RR26XR. The great thing about this system is that already comes with 2 crossbars, 4 legs, and fit kit for a complete setup. The system includes an easy installation and removal process. I went ahead and attached a video that walks you through the installation steps. With the ROC25, you receive a maximum weight capacity of 165 pounds. As with all roof racks, I recommend consulting with your Ford owner's manual to make sure that your roof can handle your kayaks.
If you need a great kayak carrier, I recommend using the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512 (folding) or # S510 (fixed height). The Rhino-Rack carrier fits perfectly with the ROC25 crossbars. Both of these models already come with 2 load straps and 2 bow/stern ties to fasten and secure your kayak to the roof.
