Hi, Matt with eTrailer. If you have a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, and you're looking for something that's gonna look nice on your roof and allow you to carry a lot more accessories when you're going out and about, especially for those more recreational uses, then the Thule Roof Rack is gonna be a great option for you. So, let's check it out. And what I really like about a roof rack is, if you have anything that is longer or larger, your roof is a perfect spot for it, because if you can't fit it inside your vehicle, or on the back of your vehicle, like in a cargo carrier, then your roof's gonna be a much better option, especially if you have anything like skis or a kayak. Now, you could always use the trailer, but the trailer is gonna extend the footprint of a vehicle by a lot more, while this is just gonna keep it all in one spot. Now, what I like about this one particularly is it's a really easy installation, and it looks nice on a roof compared to some other options out there. But let's break down what comes with your kit. So, it's gonna be in three parts. Up top, we're gonna have our 47-inch crossbars. Beneath that, we're gonna have our tower, and underneath that, we're gonna have our fit kit. So, starting with the very top, these crossbars, like I said, are 47 inches, they will work with a wide variety of different types of accessories, and that's gonna be because of the type of shape we have. This is an aero shape to help it be more aerodynamic, to help reduce wind noise. And something that's gonna help reduce wind noise is gonna be this rubber strip that's built in. And what this rubber strip is protecting is our T-channel. So, let's say you have a type of accessory that won't fit around here very well, or you wanna place it right at this tower, then you could put a accessory in through this T-channel instead. And what's nice about this is, to really access that T-channel easier, We actually have this end cap built into here, so you can mount your accessory via this point. A lot of other ones, you actually have to remove that end cap completely. And if you go below that, we're gonna have the tower. This tower roof, it's pretty easy to use, we will have this plastic lock core right here, you can actually get that traded out to have a metal lock core, you can find that on our website. But I'll remove it for now. (cover clacking) And you notice, underneath here, there's not a whole lot going on. Now, the way this is held in place is just via one bolt, so that makes that installation really easy to work with, especially if you do plan on taking this off your roof. And really kind of talking about that fit kit now, all it's really gonna consist of is a clamp on either side that's held in place with this nut, and then we're gonna have this rubber pad at the bottom. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of how our fit kit is working, (cover clacking) since we do have this little gap underneath there. In some cases, that could create some wind noise, or some whistling, but the main thing I don't like it for is it's just not a super-flush look, and I just wish we'd made full contact with our rail. Let's see how this is gonna sit on top of your roof. So, the first measurement I'm gonna get is gonna be the over the height it adds. Going from the highest point, being these rails, if we measure the top of our crossbar, that is gonna be about four-and-a-half inches, which is actually pretty low-profile compared to some other options out there. So what I'd recommend doing is, same total height of your vehicle, your crossbar, or anything on top of it, to make sure you don't hit anything, anything like a garage. Now, let's get the distance underneath your crossbar. Now, if you do plan on having your sunroof open, that will take up some of that space. And right now, we're gonna have a little bit under three inches, still plenty of room for most accessories. If you have any bulky clamps, I actually recommend just putting that sunroof down, because with it down, we're gonna have more like almost four-and-a-half inches, which should be plenty for most accessories. Something else to consider is gonna be the overhang. And as you can tell, we don't have a whole lot here. This is gonna be pretty limited, so even if you had anything smaller, like a ski carrier
