Hello, I was wondering if etrailer sells roof rack rails for vehicles. I have seen racks for bare roofs and racks for existing roof rails, but I have not been able to find any rails for installation. Thanks

We do have rails like the Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks # RTC14 which mount to naked roof vehicles. They are typically used for camper shells or truck bed rails, but can be used on a vehicle if you are willing to drill into the roof.
These rails will allow you to use Track Mount RLTF Legs # RLTF and Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty square and Aero oval crossbars like the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars # RB1375B-2 or the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2.
There are a number of track lengths available:
- 31-1/2" Long: Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount # RTC8JW
- 37-1/2" Long: Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount # RTC95JW
- 55" Long: Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount # RTC14
- 63" Long: Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount # RTC16
- 71" Long: Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount # RTC18
