Question:
Hi, I have a 2018 Honda Pilot with a naked roof and no rails. I have seen an OEM flush roof rails that I can install available. However, I am wondering if there is are elevated roof rails OEM or after market that I could install. A search on your site did not reveal any. Looking for the rails at this point, not the crossbars. Thanks!

I may have another option for you, but you are correct that there is OEM flush roof rails that can be installed on your 2018 Honda Pilot but at this time there are not raised roof rails available.
Another option is since you have a bare roof when you are ready to install a roof rack you could just use a roof rack system designed for a bare roof like the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System which uses 54" Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2, Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA, and Fit Kit # DK444.
This option will give you 54" of useable crossbar space, still has a 165lb load rating, and will save you a bit of money by not requiring you to buy and install the OEM flush roof rails.
I included a video of the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack being installed for you to take a look at.
