How Does Yakima Roof Rack Install on 2018 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with E-Group Rails  

Hi, Ive been going through the same thing as a lot of other 2018 GC TH owners regarding the flush mount roof rails. We DO have aluminum channel mounted on top of the black plastic trim. The difference is the channels black/grey anodized aluminum mounted to the car with 4 torx/washer mount screws. The only difference thats apparentinch is the color, but Im not sure what lies beneath in these two different colored rails chrome vs black? I successfully mounted the Yakima Towers and Landing Pads #18 , but its just a single screw mount that looks and feels when shaking car via crossbar a little precarious. Additionally, the directions from Yakima says theres 3 screws holding the channel to the car and were to remove the most forward and reward ones. I have 4 on my TH? So, am I screwing up? pardon the pun. Finally, and to be clear, this not the black plastic trim piece placed on some GC for what? I dont know reason, this is an actual channel. I cant believe Jeep would build this rugged beast and not allow for a the roof rack system to placed inside the black channel. Please help us get to the bottom of this. Thanks, Gerard
