Question:

I have the rails with the matte black/ glossy black tracks. Which foot pack and fit kit do I need for the square bars?

Yes. Your Malone DownLoader # MPG114MD is compatible with Thule Square Bars like the 53" long # TH712400, but it looks like you may want to consider 60" bars like the # TH712500 because of the width of your new Jeep. If you can tell me what type of roof rails you have or if you've got a naked roof, I can also help you identify which foot pack and fit kit will work for your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I've also linked our entire available selection of roof racks for use on the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

You will want to use the Thule Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R and Fit Kit for Podium Feet # THKIT3142; these feet will mount directly on your flush mounted rails and allow you to mount the Thule square bars on your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I've linked a review and installation video of these on a Jeep Grand Cherokee for you to have a look at, as well.
