Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse With the Rear Moon Roof
Question:
I am looking for a roof rack, and I want to know if there are any options for my 2010 Traverse even with the rear moonroof? Also, are there any weight restrictions with the rear moonroof?

We have many roof rack options for your 2010 Chevrolet Traverse with the rear moon roof. I have attached a link to the compatible roof racks for you to check out.
Of the available roof racks, I recommend looking at the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack, # RR23SR. This roof rack mounts on the outside of the flush side rails on your vehicles roof and will not interfere with the moon roof.
I would not recommend opening the moon roof with the roof rack installed because the mounting hardware for some roof mount accessories may hang low enough to interfere with the glass when it is opening and closing.
I found that the weight capacity of the factory roof rack for the 2010 Chevrolet Traverse is 200 lbs, but most aftermarket roof racks have a maximum weight capacity of 165 lbs. The Rhino-Rack roof rack that I recommended has a maximum weight capacity of 165 lbs, so you will not want to exceed that weight capacity when loading cargo. The weight of the cargo will not affect the moon roof, so you do not have to worry about that.
