- How to Determine if 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee has E-Group Roof For Picking Out Roof Rack
- The E-Group rails are ones that have a chrome section that runs down the middle of the rail. The non-E-Group rails are totally black without a chrome section. I attached a picture that has the chrome section pictured.
If your roof has the E-Group rails you would need the part # RRRVP27 that you referenced as that is what this rack is designed to fit.
Otherwise you'd need the Yakima roof rack part numbers # Y00422, # Y00146, and # Y06121.

Or you can use a fairing like part # RRRF3 to direct the air over the rack.

- There are several ways you can go to rig your 2015 Toyota Highlander with fixed factory roof crossbars for transporting kayaks. Adding a secondary roof rack is not an option, however, since aftermarket racks would have to use the same mounting points as your OEM bars. I confirmed this with my contacts at both Rhino-Rack and Thule.

- For your 2014 Ford Flex with the raised side rails, I really like the Rhino Rack Vortex Roof Rack in Black # JA7977 or Silver # JA7958.
