Will Malone Crossbars Work With Black Raised Rails on a 2022 Jeep Cherokee
Question:
I have a 2022 Jeep Cherokee, and was looking at roof rack crossbars for it on your website when I noticed that quite a few of the items say intended for vehicles with SILVER roof rails only.. My Cherokee happens to have black roof rails. So I was wondering: 1 Which bars *would* fit those black rails? and 2 What is the difference between the silver and black rails? Are the black rails larger somehow? A different diameter, maybe?

I spoke with our team and it turns out that the reason you can't use the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL74AR is because the clamps can't clamp around the rails properly.
I know on older generations Jeep put black rails on their Cherokee's that were purely cosmetic and that was another reason they couldn't have crossbars put on, so that may be the case here as well.
