BRIGHTLINES Heavy Duty Anti-Theft Premium Aluminum Roof Bars Roof Rack Crossbars Compatible with 2011-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Roof Black Plastic Moldings (Black)

The product arrived in very good condition. The quality of the roof racks and associated roof attachment hardware are very good to excellent quality. I put the racks on a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The installation instructions were relatively easy to follow. The picture in the instructions indicating the preferred location for the front rack was a little confusing since the arrows seemed to point to a different mounting location than the check mark, but I was able to clarify this by reviewing the product photos available and the short installation video available on Amazon.com. I took my time and the installation took about 1.5 hours. The racks are very sturdy and secure. I appreciate that the racks have a key lock. The roof racks look great and will be very useful for carrying a kayak or other items. I have started looking at available carrier systems that attach to the roof rack but haven't purchased any yet.

Super easy install. They’re strong and sturdy. Looks sharp too! Fits Jeep Grand Cherokee L perfectly. Very minimal noise (faint whistle from the wind around 35MPH) but other than that I don’t hear anything, and the noise isn’t very noticeable especially if you’re listening to music. I believe max load is 165lbs so keep that in mind as well. Overall great value!

Like other reviews, the instructions provided with this product are minimal at best - but this is a very good product and a very good value given the price. I was prepared to spend more - but now seeing the product and comparing it to others there is no need to do so. I am very mechanically inclined but even if I wasn't the installation should take no more than 30mins. My suggestions to make your install correct and easy:• My bars were clearly marked but if yours should not be, note which bar is the front (longer) and which is the back (shorter).• The bars themselves are similar in their profile design to an airplane wing meaning the rounded or blunt edge should face forward and the tapered edge should face backward when installed. This is important so as to eliminate air friction and inherent wind noise especially at higher speeds. Both of my bars were clearly marked which edge is to face forward• There is no need like some reviews suggest to remove entirely the rubber top strip on each bar. Keep the end caps with locks in place and instead simply lift up a 6" strip of the rubber top strip on both ends of each bar so you can see and access the two screws underneath• The outer-most screw on the end of each bar is used to tighten and snug the 'L' shaped metal bracket ('L' shaped as viewed from its profile) which slots in from the side and under your existing rooftop rail edges. The inner-most screw on the end of each bar is used after the bar is attached to the rail to then tighten and snug the black plastic 'foot' of each bar so that it is properly aligned with the bar itself. This inner-most screw is what you don't want to loosen more than a turn or two in advance as it can come out (I did this and it was easily corrected but took a few more minutes)• Before loosening any of the screws I suggest laying each bar on the roof rails so each bar 'foot' is laying on top of the rail on each side. Then while watching closely the metal 'L' shaped bracket, begin loosening the outer-most screw and continue loosening it until the 'L' bracket moves outward enough and clears the edges of your roof rail so it can slot in and under the rail edges. This is the best way to know how much to loosen the outer-most screw. Once the 'L' bracket can be slotted in and under the rail edges, begin tightening the outer-most screw until the 'foot' is fully secured to the rail. Do both 'feet' on each end of the bar• Once the feet of each bar are securely attached to the rail then begin tightening the inner-most screw of each 'foot' and this will tighten and align the 'foot' to the bar itself• Last step is to push the 6" section of rubber strip on the end of each bar back into their grooves. This is not so difficult and just entails working the rubber strip from the inside to the outside of each bar. Press and fit, press and fit, press and fit.• Like other reviews, I could find no purposely function of the locking mechanisms. For my installation steps explained above, I tried it with the locks 'opened' and with them 'locked' and it seemed to make no difference

I have a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It came with factory side rails but there aren't any openings in those rails. I wanted to put a cargo bag on the roof but I didn't have anywhere to secure it. Some bags come with clamps that fit under your front and rear door weather seals but, on the Jeep, the weather seals are glued in place so you can't move them without causing another problem. So, I went searching for cross bars.And, wow, the options are almost endless. The high end cross bars like Thule looked great but for the money they should. I almost went with the Mopar branded cross bars that were on sale for just under $300. But, that seemed like a lot for something that I was probably only going to use once or twice a year. Searching around I found this one and found a lot of videos on youtube to help in my decision.At roughly half the price of the Mopar this is a pretty nice cross bar. It comes with the bars, two keys, replacement screws, and an allen wrench. I've never installed cross bars on a vehicle before so I was a bit apprehensive but, as it turns out, for no reason.The bars are labeled - front and rear and there's even a label telling you which side faces the front. I had to jiggle the bar around a bit on my first try but once I figured out how it worked and attached to the rail it was pretty simple to install. A tip - when you loosen the screw that pulls the clamp up you want to unscrew it so it's flush with the nut that's inside of the clamp so you'll have plenty of clearance for it to get below the rail.Overall, pretty happy with this. It's secure and I beat on the middle a bit to test it and it's very solid. I don't see any problem carrying most anything on the top of my SUV. I haven't noticed any wind noise on the freeway.

Fit my 2021 jeep grand Cherokee perfect. Easy to assemble. Easy to attach kayak holders to it.

Perfect fit and installation for 2021 grand cherokee. The top covers take a bit of work to slide off before installing and to put back on after, but once mounted these are very secure. I use mostly for transporting a canoe with additional tie downs front and rear.
