The Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points part # RRRVP51 comes with two crossbars, one for the front and one for the rear. The crossbars are not the same so it dose matter which goes where. I wasn't able to find any refence to this based on height but if you measure each, one should be 39-1/2" long and the other should be just under 41-1/2" long. The longer bar will be installed in front.
