Easy to install with one caveat

I bought this product (roof rack cross bars) for my new 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. The product looks nice and was easy to install - but only after one snafu. There are two crossbars and one is about 3" - 4" shorter than the other. The shorter one goes towards the back and the longer one towards the front. This tidbit of information is found on the bottom of the last page of instructions. Not knowing that, I assumed they were both the same size, and II first tried to install them in the…

Pros
  • Great product. Fit my Cherokee Trailhawk 2019 nice.
Cons
  • The cargo or luggage may get damaged due to the rough terrain

Dangerous! in my review

These are garbage. They would never tighten properly. After a few months of use one of them flew off the top of Jeep Cherokee while on the freeway taking my kayak holder with it. Thank goodness we didn't have the kayaks on there at the time! It didn't hit anyone but if it did we would have had a lawsuit on our hands. Don't get these unless you like taking big risks. I'm going to have the factory-installed ones put on my car. More money but much safer!

Pros
  • Well written installation instructions. Sturdy product for my requirements.
Cons
  • The roof rack may obstruct the view of the driver and passengers

Worked great on my cross country trip!

They fit perfectly and have held all kinds of crap on top of my Cherokee. In fact, I loaded up a pile of stuff on them and drove from Virginia to California last year. They held all the weight I needed, were stiff enough and have been a great investment. I carry a couple sheets of plywood home all the time from Home Depot and they've worked really well for that, too!I have noticed a little wind noise on occasion. But, not very often. For the savings over the Thule's, I'll put up with the VERY…

Pros
  • Ok racks
Cons
  • It may not have enough weight capacity to accommodate heavy cargo

Fits 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk also

Just installed them in 47 degree weather. Went on nice. They just clamp around the existing Jeep rails. Steel stampings (ends) seem robust. Cap screws didn’t strip when tightening (as other Chinese crap screws have one on other products). Extruded aluminum seems strong. Only complaint is that the cap screws stand tall in the track for accessories. Slide your accessory hardware in the tracks first before installing these or you will have to remove the slide bar adjusting cap screws.After…

Pros
  • Worked great on my 2019 Jeep Cherokee latitude! Would have been nice to have English instructions tho!
Cons
  • No installation instructions; pretty sure product not new; no parts list so possible missing parts.

Very good, better if encapsulated rails.

Pretty easy to install, if I would have done it again, I would buy rack that encapsulates the side rails instead of just screws down hard.because if it gets loose now, people could be killed, and if it surrounds the side rails, it's safer. Otherwise, very good. Pretty quiet.

Pros
  • Versatile Compatibility: Designed specifically for Jeep Cherokee models manufactured between 2014-2019, these crossbars offer the ultimate compatibility and convenience for Jeep Cherokee owners looking to maximize their vehicle's storage capacity
Cons
  • The roof rack may make it difficult to load and unload cargo, especially heavier items

Works ok but lock broke on one of the bars

Works great for my 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk but the key to lock it broke the lock. It was a pain in the but. Made cheap but I guess it does the job.

Pros
  • Like
Cons
  • It may not provide enough clearance for taller cargo or luggage

Nice product. Very secure.

Decided to purchase the used option since it was just bars for the top of my Jeep and I’m very happy with the purchase. Arrived in great shape.

Pros
  • Easy to install put up in less than 10 minutes. Love that they lock on and work perfect
Cons
  • It may affect the fuel efficiency of the vehicle

Perfect fit, locks work great!

These cross bars work perfect for my new Jeep Cherokee. Bought the Jegs carrier and it works great for road trips! Has a nice cover over the locks.

Pros
  • Fit my 2015 Jeep Cherokee very well. Four stars for Chinese only instructions.
Cons
  • The rail is made of aluminum, which is prone to denting and scratching

Did the Job for my opinion

Easy to install and sturdy. Causes a little bit of a whistle noise but thats to be expected. Nothing crazy. We just took a 14 hour each way trip with a cargo carrier and roughly 100lbs of luggage on top and held great.

Pros
  • Made from high-quality aluminum materials, these crossbars are engineered to withstand heavy loads, weather elements and other harsh conditions that may be encountered on the road
Cons
  • The roof rack may create additional wind resistance, leading to higher fuel costs

The racks work great ,easy to instal and fit well

These racks were easy to instal, work great and fit the 2019 Jeep Cherokee.they make traveling easier, so our Great Dane and Dashound pup have room to stretch out in the back without having to share the space with the luggage or groceries.

Pros
  • Perfect fitment on my 2019 Cherokee
Cons
  • It adds extra weight to the vehicle, which could cause handling and braking issues

2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

I wish these were a bit taller to help clear the roof antennae, but otherwise they installed easily, and without issue. No noticeable wind noise either.

Pros
  • Function
Cons
  • It could result in damage to the roof due to continuous placement and removal of the crossbars

Perfect fit - my new review

We put these roof racks on a blue Jeep Cherokee with black trim. The roof racks are not only the perfect cosmetic addition but will be so useful.

Pros
  • They are quite sturdy and easy to install
Cons
  • N/A

A lot of wind noise

Awfully loud wind noise when driving. My vehicle was super quiet and not anymore. The lock caps are pretty flimsy and don’t sit evenly but not the end of the world. The noise though will have me wanting to try another product.

Pros
  • Cargo Management
Cons
  • The roof rack may increase the overall height of the vehicle, making it difficult to fit through low clearance areas

Great product. on my review.

Great roof bars. Perfect for my Rola roof bracket and a great fit on my 2015 Jeep traihawk. Would highly reccomend. It may not be legal in some states or countries.

Pros
  • Streamlined Design: The sleek and aerodynamic design of the crossbars ensures minimal wind resistance and noise while driving, thereby providing a smooth and quiet ride experience
Cons
  • It may not be legal in some states or countries

Roof top rack on my review.

2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Easy to install and looks good. Fits perfectly and does not hang over the factory rails like some other luggage racks.

Pros
  • The MotorFansClub Roof Rack Cross Bars provide Jeep Cherokee owners with a spacious, convenient and practical storage solution for carrying extra cargo and luggage on their travels
Cons
  • It may not be suitable for off-road use

Too short for 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

The rails look great, are very well-made and seem sturdy. While setting on top of the car for installation, they were low profile and attractive. The issue was that with the rails were about one inch short of reaching both roof tracks. I opened the set screws all the way and extended the attachment clamps as far as possible, but they just would not extend to the width of the tracks. The roof tracks are original equipment. Regretfully, they must be returned. Too bad, for they seem to be a really

Pros
  • Easy installation & Less Wind Noise
Cons
  • The roof rack may make the vehicle more attractive to thieves

It fit well and look great!

2019 jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, these fit perfect. I would say the wind noise is minimal however i dont have a sunroof, those with a sunroof may find it a bit noisier. They are a good looking set and after a few months seem to be holding up well. I will update in the future.

Pros
  • Fit as expected. Great price! Came within 5 days. Easy install. Worth the money!
Cons
  • The crossbars may loosen over time and require regular maintenance and tightening

Feels sturdy. Good quality feel.

From a distance there’s look great. They don’t fit as snug as I thought they would, they can’t fall between the racks but the gap is rather obvious, see pictures. At this price point though, I feel they are a good value. They are very sturdy, I couldn’t make them slide after the ten minute install. This is my first set, so I’ll update as needed.

Pros
  • Adjustable Roof Racks with Locks
Cons
  • It may not be covered under the Jeep Cherokee's warranty

Solid racks on my review.

I like to carry 2 to 4 surfboards at a time and these racks are very strong. They do not interfere with the sunroof either. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • The crossbars may obstruct the opening of the rear hatch

Package had been previously opened when I received (box taped together). The only directions provided were not in English. The rack does not fit on the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee as advertised. I am sending back to the supplier.

Pros
  • Cargo Bars
Cons
  • It is not a universal fit and may only be compatible with specific Jeep Cherokee models
