Question:

I have a 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I’m looking at the Malone airflow2 . I see in Malones website “fits only silver siderails” might sound stupid but mine are black raised side rails. What’s the difference between the two? Thanks

That is not a dumb question at all; this is not a very common situation. I do have a solution for you, but unfortunately the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 and Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 will not fit your 2020 Jeep Cherokee because the factory raised black rails on your roof are actually wider than the silver rails. These crossbars are only wide enough to fit the dimensions of the silver roof rails.

For a similar aerodynamic style crossbar setup that will fit your black roof rails you will want to go with Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB123-130 and Feet Kit # INXS150. The front bar is 48" long while the rear bar is 51" long. This roof rack has a weight capacity of 165lbs and features the standard T-slot top track which can easily accommodate various accessories. There are built-in locks that secure the crossbars to the roof and also secure any track-mounted accessories to your crossbars. I have attached an installation video for you to check out.
