Inexpensive Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Nissan Rogue

Question:

Will any of the SportRack models fit a 2012 Rouge, with no factory rails?

I checked with SportRack and none of the Frontier roof racks will fit the 2012 Nissan Rogue with a naked roof. But not to worry because I have a great recommendation for you. For an economical roof rack you can use Rhino-Rack roof rack. You will need the following parts:

Vortex Crossbars # RRVA126B-2
Feet # RRRLKVA
Custom DK Clamps and Pads # DK146

It costs a little more than a Frontier roof rack that won't fit your vehicle, but the Rhino-Rack roof rack is custom whereas the Frontier roof racks are semi-custom and may not fit all that great. The Rhino-Rack roof racks are also a big step up in quality.

Seeking budget cost Crossbarrs greater length than 50". Recommendations?

The best option is to stick with the Mounting Feet # RRRLKVA and Custom DK Clamps and Pads # DK146 mentioned above but simply go with longer bars. You could go with the 54" # RRVA137B-2 instead.
