Question:

I have the aero rack system Rhino Rack Roof Rack - Y02-480B. Can it be adapted to work on a naked roof of a 2023 Chevy 2500HD roof. Thank you

Hey Miles, I checked with Rhino Rack and the part # Y02-480B that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500. Like you probably already know though this is a permanent install type of rack that would require drilling the roof.

If you were looking for a way to adapt the roof rack to fit without drilling you would instead also need the part # DK427 and the # RRRLKVA which allows the feet of the rack to attach to the door frame. This does not require any drilling.

So the DK427 is all I need to make legs on my track system work on a naked roof? The legs I have have the squeeze method to attach to the rail feet

@Miles actually I got that wrong. Sorry about that. The feet of your kit are not the same as you have the RLT600 and would instead need the part # RRRLKVA and the fit kit mentioned but would be able to use the bars still.
