Recommended Roof Rack for a 2010-2017 Dodge Grand Caravan

Question:

Hello, Im looking for a roof rack system from my 2017 Grand Caravan. I do not have factory roof rails. I have seen etrailer pictures online of Thule branded roof racks installed on a late model Caravan without factory roof rails. However, when I search the roof rack products on the website for Caravan, the latest year I see in 2010. Can you please advise? Thanks

I called around to our roof rack manufacturers to try to find you a roof rack. I have a solution for you but unfortunately they do not make any traditional roof racks that install on your Grand Caravan's roof. This is because the sliding doors on your Grand Caravan make it difficult to use systems that use door jamb clips. All of our naked roof roof racks use these door jamb clips because there are no fixed mounting points present.

I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - 48" Long item # 298-SX6000B or the 60" item # SEA99FR. The Monkey Bars come with the easiest installation and removal process out of any roof rack. Since the diameter of the round crossbars are only 1-1/4 inches in diameter, the bars are compatible with most roof rack accessories such as kayak carriers, bike racks, cargo baskets, and cargo boxes. These bars have a 150 lbs maximum weight capacity. I attached a video below that shows the strength of the vacuum cups.
