Question:

Hello. I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Willey JK 2 door hardtop. The rain guard only extends to the front seat. I have Thule crossbars. Please advise on what size Rapid gutter feet for Thule Crossbars and Thule Artificial Rain gutter if I need. There is not rain gutter for back of hardtop cap - only the front. Want to carry pair of kayaks. Please advise.

Expert Reply:

The Rapid Gutter Feet for Thule Crossbars - Rain Gutters - 8" Tall - Qty 4, part # TH33ZR, you attached to your question are my preferred height. They are the Rapid Gutter feet, so you will need the the Thule SquareBar Evo crossbars, they have an underside channel. If you have the old Thule square crossbars, you will need to replace them with the Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 60" Long - Qty 2, part # TH712500. This roof rack has a weight limit of 165 lbs.

You will be able to use the Thule Artificial Rain Gutters, part # TH542, on the hardtop of your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Willys JK 2 door hardtop. Please keep in mind these rain gutters are fixed, so you will not be able to move your rear crossbars.

My kayak carrier recommendation is the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount, part # e98878. You will need at least 24" between your crossbars. It comes with two cam buckle straps and a bow and stern strap.
