Question:
Happy New Year! I am looking for a crossbar setup for my 2012 Chevrolet Express Van equipped with an Explorer high top conversion. Im interested in knowing whether any Thule products are compatible with my vans gutters while also providing enough clearance for the Explorer high top. Additionally, Im open to suggestions for other products that would work for a suitable crossbar setup. Thank you!

Hey Joseph, the Thule ProBar roof rack system part # TH26ZA is a fit for the gutters that you have on your 2012 Chevy Express Van with a high top. This is a really great system that gives you a aero shaped bar that has a channel that runs along the top for attaching to roof accessories and is a higher weight capacity of 220 lbs.
