Recommended Roof Rack For 2018 Chevy Traverse With Naked Roof
Question:
Hi I have a 2018 traverse and i was looking at adding a roof rack. But it seems like the kits are missing a piece that runs from front to back that would hold the channel that the cross bars mount to. Is there another part i need from my car? or is it a model that i have to install it a different way? Which one would you recommend?

Thanks so much for the photo, and it shows your 2018 Chevy Traverse has a naked/bare roof. And the roof rack that fits actually uses clips that grasp onto the door jamb, so they don't actually fit into a channel. The best roof rack for your '18 Traverse is one that installs that way, from Inno:
- Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB153-2
- Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars # INXS250
- Fit Kit # IN63FR
This is the best roof rack for your Traverse with a naked roof because it is the quietest, easiest-to-use roof rack that also looks great atop your Chevy. The bars are aero-shaped which minimizes the amount of wind noise compared to other bars, and are easy to use due to the channels on top so you can just slide any accessory in.
The crossbars of this rack are also 60 inches long, which is the widest for your Chevy, giving you the most space possible to carry cargo.
