Question:
Hello, I need guidance on what roof racks to get for my 2022 ford escape. I have the flush mount type i believe, but I also have a sun roof that pops up when you open it. I wanted to make sure i get racks high enough to accommodate that. I am looking to put a cargo thing on top to carry totes and camping gear. Heres a link to a video of my car. Thanks

Hello Jason, thanks for reaching out. We do have roof rack for your 2022 Ford Escape with the flush rails. For that I recommend the following:
- Yakima SightLine Roof Rack for Flush Rails - JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - Qty 2 # Y67HB
This comes with 50" aero crossbars. These are universally compatible and will work with virtually any clamp-on or channel mount roof rack accessory. Also, the roof rack will allow opening of the sunroof. That said, sometimes the crossbars and roof baskets can generate a good bit of road noise. A lot of people will just keep the roof closed for that reason - they don't want that whistling right in their ears. Also keep in mind, some roof rack accessories use mounts that hang down below the crossbars, so you will want to be careful and make sure whatever you have up there will clear the roof glass.
If you are looking for a recommendation for a roof box or basket, here are my top recommendations:
- Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 64-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Tall - 150 lbs # C18115-117
- Benton ShellRaiser Roof Cargo Box - 8 cu ft - 52" Long - Black # B44FR
What kind of gear will you be using the roof rack for primarily?
