Rhino-Rack RVP Is A Low Profile Choice for Roofs Without Roof Rails

Updated 02/16/2021 | Published 02/12/2021

Question:

I have a 2019 Cadillac xt5 premium luxury version. Is the Rino Rack RVP flush mount my only option for a low profile roof rack with a flush mount. The factory rack is strangely tall. The reason I ask is so I can get a low profile cargo box to clear my garage height and other low garage entrances. Thanks. I find that your website is the go-to source for accurate information regarding any add on accessory.

The Rhino-Rack # RR67QJ Cross rails no taller than the other choices. When you see them say "flush mount" it means the crossbars fit right into the feet without a portion going past the foot and sticking out sideways. Roof crossrails will generally be 3 to 4" above the roof of the vehicle to accommodate the clamping devices of different rooftop accessories. I am not aware of any lower height crossrails that attach directly to the roof.
