Question:

What Rhino-Rack roof rack will fit a naked roof on my 2021 Nissan Rogue?

Expert Reply:

I have a great roof rack solution for you. Unfortunately, Rhino-Rack has not yet engineered a fitment that will work for a 2021 model Nissan Rogue. However, there is a great Yakima crossbar system that will work with your bare roof. For this route, here is the following parts you need:

- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - 50" Long - Qty 2 # Y00425
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06179
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06161
- Yakima Same-Key Lock System # Y07204

With this setup, you will have a maximum crossbar weight capacity of 165 pounds. I recommend confirming with your owner's manual whether your roof can handle that much weight. The Yakima JetStream crossbars has a lot of the same features as a similar Rhino-Rack setup would have. For example, the JetStream has full-length top channels and an aerodynamic design. It also includes rubber stripping that minimizes wind resistance when t-slot accessories are not in use.
