Thanks for the picture of the roof of your 2017 Volvo XC90! From that I can tell you have what is considered flush rails which while we have great roof rack fits for the Malone part # MPG216 would not fit as this rack system requires rails that are raised off of the roof that you could fit your hand under.

Instead you'd need a rack designed to attach to flush rails like the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX040 which is a confirmed fit for your roof, installs easily, and has aerodynamic bars which will minimize wind noise. The install video I attached for this rack shows it installed on a similar Volvo as yours as well.
