Question:

I have a 2019 High Altitude Jeep Grand Cherokee. This car is loaded but for some reason does not come with roof rails. It has black plastic molding instead. Can the rails be installed aftermarket? The dealer says no bc it would void the warranty. Very frustrating bc I can’t use our car-top carrier or kayak racks.

Expert Reply:

It sounds like you've got flush mounted rails (a matte black flush mounting "molding" that runs from front to back) on your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee High Altitude edition, and while they're more intended for cosmetics you can install a roof rack on this vehicle. The best combination of quality, durability and price point is the Rhino Rack Roof Rack for 2019 Jeep Cherokee, which uses parts # RRVA137B-2 , # RRRLKVA and # DK234 to provide you with the crossbars, foot pack and mounting kit needed. The Vortex Aero bars on this kit will help reduce wind noise compared to less aerodynamic bars and this kit comes with integrated locks to help keep the rack securely in place to reduce the chances of theft.

I've linked a review and installation video of this kit on an older model Jeep Grand Cherokee for you to have a look at, as well.
