2024 Buick Enclave Sunroof Operation with Crossbars Installed

Welcome back Dave. Installing the Inno Square Bar Roof Rack # IN87XR will likely not interfere with the operation of your sunroof, but unfortunately, we don't have a way to guarantee the clearance. Roof rack manufacturers generally don't test sunroof operation with their systems installed and typically recommend keeping the sunroof closed while crossbars or roof-mounted accessories are in place. I would especially avoid opening the sunroof with an accessory mounted to the crossbars. Depending on the accessory, some of the mounting hardware can extend below the bars and interfere with the sunroof. Even with just the crossbars installed, there will be quite a bit of wind noise with the sunroof open.

One thing you can do to get a better idea of your available clearance is compare the height of the open sunroof with the roof rack mounting points. The feet included with the # IN87XR measure 3-1/2 inches tall. You can measure up 3-1/2 inches from the factory mounting points on your Enclave and compare that height with the highest point of the sunroof when it's fully open.

Just to confirm, does your 2024 Buick Enclave have flush-mounted side rails with factory mounting points?
