Question:
Hello, I am looking for a roof rack for a 2022 Malibu with nothing on the roof. Also will the Rightline range 3 cargo bag fit in the Rhino Rack roof basket RMCB02?

Expert Reply:
To add a roof rack to your 2022 Chevy Malibu, I recommend the roof rack by Rhino-Rack which includes the following parts:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA126B-2
Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs Qty 4 item # RRRLKVA
Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof item # DK462
This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The included locks will prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.
I have linked a couple of pictures, along with a video, that will show you what this system will look like when installed on an older model Malibu we had in the shape recently.
Yes, the Rightline Range 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag item # RL100R30 will fit inside the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket item # RMCB02. The interior dimensions of the basket are 53" long x 37" wide x 5" tall with the bag measuring 48" x 36" x 18".
