Question:

Since Thule Fit Kit 1043 is discontinued I looked everywhere online, what roof rack system would you recommend for a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan that does not have roof rails to attach to?

Expert Reply:

While we do have a great roof rack option for your 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan with a bare roof, you are correct that Thule discontinued the fit kit 1043.

For a great option, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - 48" # 298-SX6000B. The Monkey Bars come with the fastest installation and removal process out of any of our roof rack systems, so you do not have to go through the hassle of tightening clips and lining up foot pads. It also comes with an impressive 150-pound maximum weight capacity and is compatible with many roof rack accessories. I went ahead and attached a video of the true strength of SeaSucker vacuum cups.

In order to have locks to protect your investment, I recommend using the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891 along with the SeaSucker Cable Anchor # 298-BA0010.
