Quiet Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Nissan Rogue

Published 11/04/2015

Question:

I have a NISSAN Rogue 2015 S that has no existing rails or crossbars. I am looking for roof cross bars to install carrier and bike/kayak mount. Is there a model that would fit that does not mounts on doors ? I would like to avoid the additional noise and drift associated with door attachments. Thanks in advance for your help.

To carry roof mounted accessories on your 2015 Nissan Rogue S that has a naked roof will require the installation of a roof rack.

The quietest setup is going to be an aero bar that uses flush mounted feet instead of a through bar that extends past the foot of the rack.

The Rhino Rack roof rack part # RR85QR would be a great option as it is a flush mounted bar system with aero bars confirmed to fit your vehicle.

For a naked roof there really isn't a way to install a roof rack without attaching it to the door frames of the vehicle.
