Question:
I want to update my roof rack I have a 2013 Nissan frontier Pro4x with a sunroof. I want to make sure I can use the existing mounting points so as not to have a leak. Can you help me ?

Hello Igor,
Happy to get you the correct roof rack set-up for your 2013 Nissan Frontier.
When you say your existing mounting points, I believe what you are referring to is the factory installed raised rails that run front to back (please see attached image). I am not sure if you have a Crew Cab or King Cab, so here are your options:
- Crew Cab with factory installed raised rails that run front to back, Yakima TimberLine Roof Rack for Raised Rails - JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # Y39YD. The # Y39YD will install by clamping onto the existing rails.
- Crew Cab with no existing rails or crossbars, Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # Y74KB which will install in the door jam.
- King Cab with factory installed raised rails that run front to back, Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack for Raised Rails - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # RR72XE
- King Cab with no existing rails or crossbars, Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # RR54ZE
What do you mainly use the roof rack for?
