Recommended Roof Rack for Sky One-Touch Power Top on 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Question:

Do you know of any roof rack system that would be compatible with a 2020 Wrangler JLU with Sky Touch roof? So far I can not find one. Thanks for your time.

For a roof rack to be compatible on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler with Sky One-Touch Power Top, it can't be mounted on the top of the roof and it needs to be high enough for the folding roof to clear. What you need are tall gutter-mounted roof racks. While I do have some options for you and I've seen them being used on other JLUs, they aren't confirmed fits by the manufacturers for use with Sky Power Tops.

Please note first that your Jeep needs to have gutter mounts. If it is a full soft top, it won't have anything to mount to. Your Jeep must be a "Hard Top" with the Sky Touch power roof and rain gutters along the side.

One of the options is a Thule System with 60" Long Wingbar Evo Crossbars # TH711520 and 81/4" Tall Gutter Feet # TH33ZR. The confirmed fit for this system includes the 5" Gutter Feet # TH300R of which I included a video demo, but they are too short for your roof, so I recommend the 8" tall version. It also has a weight capacity of 165 lbs.

My second option is a Rhino-Rack system with 59" Long Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2 and 8" Tall Gutter Feet # RL210S2. I prefer this option since it's a popular choice on the online forums among Jeep owners with Sky One-Touch Power Tops. However, my contact at Rhino Rack says that while they're aware of its popularity, it's not yet a tested and confirmed fit by Rhino-Rack so that warranty does not apply.
