Full Length Low Profile Racks - recommendations?
Hello.

I am interested in getting a low profile full length roof rack for my 2020 T4R. I like both the Gobi and Prinsu models and I will have them installed professionally. I could install myself if drilling holes would not be required.

I want to also be able to attach a cargo box to either one of them.

What is your recommendation?

Thanks in advance.

Farzad

I went with Prinsu, it was easy and I installed it this weekend. It's no drill also so no extra holes.

I just installed my UpTop Bravo rack. It's very nice and doesn't require any drilling. The fitment and precision is top notch. I highly recommend it.

Thanks. If it is no drill, how does the forward end of it come into contact with the roof?

Take a look at Greenlane Off-road from Canada, prices shown are not USD so your number is much less. Great fit and finish, there is a good YouTube item on this.

With the Sherpa, the forward end rests on adjustable rubber feet. If you leave the rear mounts a little loose, and the middle mounts a quarter inch loose, you can pull up the front windscreen, set a folded towel under it, and then set the front feet just a little long. Then when you tighten the other mounts it puts extra pressure onto the front feet. Just don't overdo it, which can put a bend into the side frame.

Super happy with my Sherpa rack so far. No drill, easy install, very sturdy.

Another vote for Sherpa. Very solid, low profile, and looks great (although they all kinda look the same anymore). I installed it by myself in about 1-2 hours, taking my time not to scratch anything.

I went with Westscott Designs, with a 40" bar cutout, and am super happy with it.

You cut the weather strip and use #M VHB tape for the legs. There is no noise all the way up to 80-85 mph. If I had to choose again I would pick Prinsu, UpTop, and Sherpa in that order.

Why the Prinsu over the Sherpa? Sherpa build looks less flimsy and also doesn't require silicone..
