To add a roof rack to your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the flush black rails you'll need the crossbars, leg kit, and a fit kit. I really like the Yakima JetStream because it's a high quality system with adjustments in the legs to give you the best fit possible. Here are the parts you'll need:

60" JetStream Crossbars - # Y00426
BaseLine Towers - # Y28TR
Fit Kit - # Y06121
Lock Core Kit - # Y07204 (optional)

If you let me know what you plan on using the roof rack for I'd be more than happy to make additional recommendations!

Thanks for the info! One of my favorite kayak carriers is the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04073 because of how easy it is to use and install. This can be used for 2 kayaks but I'd go with 2 of the JayLow, 1 for each side, so it's easier to load your kayaks. If you'd like more of an economic option check out the etrailer J-Style Kayak # e98878. This has the same function as the JayLow but it uses standard mounting hardware and the adjustments aren't as smooth. This is still a great choice though as it comes with all of the tie-downs you'll need as well. Attached are review videos of both kayak carrier options for you to check out.
