Expert Reply:

The roof racks we offer for your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee like the Rhino-Rack RVP part # RRRVP27 all require you to keep the panoramic sunroofs closed at all times. The manufacturer doesn't test them for use with the panoramic roof open as there are many more variables. There is physically the clearance but it is not recommended.
