Will There Be Large Overhang With 50" Crossbars On A 2023 Buick Enclave

Question:

Hi! I’m concerned the 50” Yakima bars will have considerable overhang on my Buick enclave 2023. Do u have a picture, by chance?

The overall width of a 2023 Buick Enclave (not including the mirrors) is 78.7" so 50" crossbars like the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 most likely wouldn't extend past the roof of the vehicle. We don't currently have a picture of them mounted on your specific vehicle, but you can do a bit of measuring to see exactly how far this would stick out. If you have flush mounted rails that run from the front to the back then you can measure across to see the spacing and determine how much overhang you'll have.

For flush mounted rails you'll need the following components:

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # Y00425
SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems - Qty 4 # Y53TR
Landing Pad 19 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers - Qty 4 # Y00245

If you have a naked roof then the only option we currently offer is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B. This actually has a video where Evangeline places it on a 2022 model with raised rails so you can also get an idea of how long 50" crossbars would overhang since this has 48" crossbars.
