Would Rhino Rack Roof Rack JA7980 Fit Jeep Renegade Trailhawk Sunroof

Question:

Hi, I have a 2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk with factory side raised rails that run front to back. Id like to know if the Rhinorack Vortex Stealthbars JA7980 have enough clearance between the lower portions of the crossbars and the roof of the vehicle to allow the sunroof to be opened without the sunroofs range of motion being obstructed or interfered with?

The Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack # JA7980 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for the factory raised rails on your 2016 Jeep Renegade. Since these crossbars can fit anywhere you want them on the rails of your roof it would be up to you to come up with a way to position them so that they do not interfere with the sunroof. Rhino Rack does not have an official "yes" or "no" though as far as interference between these bars and your sunroof.

If you check out the install video I attached though you'll see the rack installed on a similar 2017 Renegade.
