Question:

I have a 2108 Volvo XC90. Will the 58” or 65” bars look better? I do not like the look of the bars coming out too far. Just using for a cargo box.

Expert Reply:

The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG216 will look better while installed on your 2018 Volvo XC90 when compared to the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG217 because the crossbars will be 7" shorter overall and 3.5" shorter on each side. They will both however work just fine with a rooftop cargo box like the Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box part # MPG911. The only time you would want to go with the longer option is if you were using the roof rack to transport multiple water-sport accessories like kayaks.
