Rain Gutter Roof Racks

A rain gutter is the lip running along the edge of the roof where it meets the door opening, and a gutter mount rack clamps directly to it. Older SUVs and pickups, Jeep Wranglers and full-size cargo vans still have them, and because the gutter is structural steel, these are among the strongest mounts you can put on a roof.

Two choices remain. Foot height decides how far the bars sit above the roof: standard feet keep the load low, tall feet clear a high roof line or a raised body. Gutter position decides bar spread, since the gutter runs the length of the roof and you can place the feet where the load needs them, which is why vans and work vehicles use them for long loads. Call 1-800-272-5362 and we will confirm the foot height and spread for your vehicle.
