Best 2018 GMC Acadia Roof Rack Options- Video
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the best flush-mount roof rack options for our 2018 GMC Acadia. We have the Thule AeroBlade Edge, the Yakima RailBar, and the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar. We have all three of these installed on our factory raised side rails you can see here, and these can carry a wide variety of accessories such as bike racks, cargo baskets, and cargo boxes. We're going to go over some of the differences between these three. The biggest difference between these three is going to be how they actually mount up onto your factory raised side rails.With both the AeroBlade Edge and the StealthBar, it's going to have a rubber-coated steel strap that wraps around underneath and gets attached above and tightened down with an included tool. With the Yakima, it clamps around the factory raised side rails and tightens into place using the integrated Allen key that you can carry with you while you travel.Bearing all that in mind, the easiest to install out of these three is going to be the Yakima RailBar. more

However, a disadvantage would be that because it's cut off at certain points on either side, that is the only amount of space you're going to have to install your accessories. Otherwise, you need to get a bar that goes past, so you'd have to pretty much upgrade to a different style of roof rack system.Removing our end cap here, as opposed to other roof rack systems where you would actually have to remove the rubber strip to install T-Track accessories, with this, all you have to do is push down the strip and push the T-Track accessories in, not having to make any alterations to the rubber strip itself. more
