Question:
I have a Kia Telluride X Pro with raised rails. I’ve been having a problem getting crossbars that allow the sunroof to open. I’ve tried the Yakima timberline FX-I like the look of this, but the sunroof won’t fully open. What product would would you recommend that has a high enough clearance so that the sunroof can also open? Second question which product would be the easiest to take on and off if I just wanted to put the bars on for trips as needed? Thank you so much.

Hey Will, thanks for reaching out!
Was the problem with the Yakima TimberLine FX # Y87UV how low the crossbars were, or how far inside the rails that the legs sat? It looks like the Yakima TimberLine Roof Rack # Y42GD has a bit more height clearance and are still pretty easily installed/removed so they are a great alternative as long as the inside width clearance wasn't the problem.
I'm attaching the photos Yakima took of the TimberLine FX as well as the standard TimberLine kits so you can see the difference.
Let me know what you're thinking, and we can look into alternatives if need be!
