Can I Open a the 2017 Jeep Renegade My Sky Roof with a Roof Rack Installed

Question:

Would these cross bars interfere with the sunroof MySky opening on my 2017 Jeep Renegade with factory rails? Thanks

Because of the design of the My Sky sunroof on the 2017 Jeep Renegade, there won't be a roof rack available that is going to allow you to open the sunroof with it attached; you'll still be able to put a roof rack on your vehicle, but you won't be able to open the roof with the system installed.

With that said, the Rhino Rack roof rack that uses parts # RRSX100 and # RRVA126B-2 you were looking at is a really nice choice. You may want to consider adding the end caps with the metal locks that are available with Rhino-Rack Locking Endcaps for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Metal Cores - Qty 4 # RRVA-LEC4, which would give you a bit better security for your rack at a nice price.

I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out, as well.
