Question:

In the description information for these Landing Pads, it says they are Not confirmed to fit the 2016 Jeep Compass. Does that mean they will absolutely not fit or does it means it depends on something specific in that configuration? If depends, what exactly does it depend on? Any insight? Thanks in advance.

I have a Landing Pad solution for you. Unfortunately, when the Landing Pad 20 # Y00246 says "Not confirmed to fit" your 2016 Jeep compass, that means that we have tested it with all the available configurations and it will not fit.

However, the correct landing pads you need for a Yakima crossbar system on your 2016 Jeep Compass with flush factory rails is the Landing Pad 19 for Yakima Skyline Towers # Y00245. Although these landing pads will fit your vehicle, the towers that go along with the pads, the Skyline Towers, are not currently available here at etrailer.

If you need a whole new roof rack setup, I recommend the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbars # RR58MR. With the ROC25, this rack comes with all components needed for installation, so you do not have to worry about purchasing additional feet or fit kits. The great thing about this roof rack is the fitment; the crossbars come with slightly different lengths to match the tapering of your roof. It also comes with a 132 pound maximum weight capacity. As with all roof racks, I recommend that you consult with your Jeep owner's manual to make sure that your roof can support that much weight.
