Installation GuideWK2 Grand Cherokee Removable Roof Rack Cross Rails
Take more gear on that next adventure with these Mopar removable roof rack cross rails from Just for Jeeps that are designed to fit your Jeep Grand Cherokee. Our Mopar roof rails for Jeep Grand Cherokees come with sport utility bars with T-slots for mounting.
The removable roof rack cross rails are 46 inches long and 2.75 inches wide, and will hold up to 150 pounds. It replaces Mopar's #82212072AC roof rack. Removable roof racks are the preferred choice of owners who like having the option of a sleeker look without the racks for, say, a night on the town. But they also want the option to hit the road with everything they need for an adventure in the wild. You can trust Mopar, because these are original equipment manufactured (OEM) parts made for Chrysler Jeeps made after 1987. If your Grand Cherokee doesn't have side rails, we recommend purchasing the Thule Jeep-compatible removable roof rack. You'll always enjoy lower prices and fast shipping when you order from JustForJeeps.com. "Compared to the other options on the market, it is about half the price from what I could find," one customer told us after purchasing these removable roof rack parts. Another buyer summed it up this way: "Easy to install. Little to no wind noise. Fantastic price." Read all our 5-Star customer reviews about this sturdy addition to our line of Jeep-compatible parts.

2012 WK2 Altitude roof cross rails
I like this product. I had to replace the fake rails on my Altitude before I could mount these, but the cross bars themselves were very easy to install. I'm glad they are black to match, its the main reason I didn't buy Thule. I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about the instructions when you don't need them anyway. Very straight forward installation, took about 15 minutes. Was able to push the rubber down without any soap or whatever. Biggest con is the wind noise. Other people said slight, but anything over 40 mph it is extremely evident with or without the sunroof open. I have the front one all the way forward I'm going to try moving it back, but we'll see. I just put on music or the radio otherwise it would annoy me.
ProsSimple, quick install. Just need to make sure both sides are even. Look good. High weight rating.
ConsThere is no speed at which they do not make an annoying whistling sound, but I've had that issue with a lot of brands.

Good quality, and look better than I thought. Hard to figure out though.
I wasn't sure if I was going to like the looks of the rack on top of my '14 JGC. My original intent was to put on the rack only when needed and leave it in the garage the rest of the time.
The short answer is, that's not practical. It takes quite a bit of effort to install, especially the rubber strip across the top and once that's in, you can't remove the rack without taking it back out.
The best way I found to install the strip was to coat everything in soapy water and just slide the strip in from the end. That seemed easier than laying across the top of the vehicle and pushing the strip in brute-force. I was installing this in the winter, so the rubber was stiff enough that I could push it in from one side - if you were installing in a warmer climate, it may not work to push.
Now that it's up there, the looks of them are starting to grow on me. I haven't actually used them yet, but they're a good, solid install that I don't anticipate any problems (other than that stupid antenna being right in the way).
ProsSolid, quality components.
ConsInstructions were confusing, and the rubber strip is hard to get in correctly.

Awesome! Easy to Install
These roof racks are awesome... Guys, I don't hear any wind noise.... I tried many different scenarios to see if I could hear anything and I am the type of girl that always has the windows down. Don't hold back if the noise scared you

Just what I needed
While these look great, one piece was chipped upon opening the box. I wasn’t going to try shipping it back in the original packaging so I guess I’ll live with it. Overall I’m happy with my purchase.

Roof Rack
I bought a Jeep Roof Rack for 176.00 in 2012. I used it on my 2012 G.Cherokee then on my 2015. I then found Brighlines Roof Rack for my 2018 G.Cherokee for 99.00 with shipping and it is the same except without Mopar sticker. It fits perfectly. By it

Great Product
My order arrived quickly and with all parts. The installation was very simple, and took about 30 minutes total. As with many racks there is some wind noise when traveling at higher speeds, but not so bad that having the radio on doesn�€™t cancel it out. The rack carries my paddle board with no issues. What I really like is low profile look compared to some other brands. Very pleased with this product.

Wind Noise
I tried to deal with the wind noise but it's absolutely unbearable. Adjusting the positioning didn't help either

Wind Noise is Unbearable
The quality of the product is fine, but the wind noise created when driving any speed over 30MPH is just ridiculous. If you spend any normal amount of time in the car there is no way you can tolerate the noise. It is incredibly annoying. After trying every possible position for the racks it is clearly a problem with the product. I have spoken to several other jeep owners with these racks on their car and they all say same thing. It's amazing people continue to buy this product. I used them for a week and have not put them back on since. Absolute waste of money. Mopar should finally address this.
ProsThey look nice. Sturdy product.
ConsWind noise created by product is completely unbearable to deal with.

Just a great set of crossbars
Good design, it really looks good on a Grand Cherokee diesel
ProsEasy to install.
Lightweight but strong enough.
The notice is maybe short, but if you have done it once, it is like running on a bicycle, you will not forget how to do it again.
Cons1 - Sliding the plastic top is not that easy. I suggest that you do like I did, you remove the end piece, slid the plastic and reset the end piece with a short screwdriver. Or do like I intend to do, cut slots over the bolts, so the plastic stays and do not interfere.
2 - The forward sign should be on top or on the feet of course.

Great!
I am very happy with my purchase of this item. However, I would recommend looking up instructions on YouTube since the ones it comes with don't help at all. Overall, it's exactly what I purchased and I'm happy with it so far!
ConsComes with terrible and useless instructions

Good rack
Quality built, easy to install, looks great. It does whistle, even going 45 mph however. Also make sure you have allen wrenchs as it does not come with them.overall, pretty satisfied with the product.

Easy Instalation. Good Quality. Extremely Noisy.
The instruction is not quite useful. I was told that by moving it back and forth, I can get rid of the wind noise but every spot still too noisy. I may just leave it off and store it until I need it. Luckily it does install within 5-10 minutes....
ProsGood Quality.
ConsRubber was hard to attach.
Too noisy.

Sturdy But Noisy
Installation on my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee was relatively easy after watching a YouTube video. Installing the rubber strips prior to installing the bars on the vehicle made things easier. The bars made a loud humming noise with the rubber strips inserted at speeds over 40 mph that was very annoying. I removed the rubber strips and the humming noise went away so I'm leaving the strips out unless they are really needed while carrying something that might scuff up the bars' finish.
ProsGood build quality for the price. Each bar is rated at a maximum load of 150 pounds.
ConsAnnoying humming noise over 40 mph with the rubber strips inserted no matter where the bars are positioned on the vehicle.

Looks Great, Easy Install, Top Quality
This rack is the Thule rack system for half the price. Works great, easy install, looks good. After reading the reviews from a few people about how the install was difficult and the directions were not very good, I was quite disappointed when I was only one beer deep and had everything installed in about 15 minutes because I then had to go back to doing the wife's honey-do list instead of man stuff, like installing this rack over a few beers....I'd recommend it and would buy it again.

Cross rails
Fast delivery, 20 minute install. I recommend this product and will buy this for my next Cherokee.
ProsFast delivery.
ConsRubber cover strips on top of rails are difficult to install. Use a rubber friendly lubricate to install them so they slide in more easily.

Great product. Would recommend.
As advertised, mopar product that is built well, sturdy, and does the job. Does not lock on vehicle so a crafty thief will an allen wrench can steal, but it's a great product. My brother is buying them too after seeing mine. Instuctions are worthless. Watch a YouTube video instead. They were on the jeep in 10 minutes.
ProsDurable, manufacturer product. Clean look, especially with a dark vehicle
ConsInstructions are horrible.
