Looked at the other forum titles to see where you should post and it is a little baffling. A rack for a Cherokee probably would not fit on a Compass. That being said I have actually Googled 2016 Cherokee roof rack with good results.

Yeah..
The Thule stuff looks real nice.
probably gonna buy the thule rack/bars.. and the thule hullavator pro 898

it's damn expensive... but will be much easier for her to load the boat...


just thought someone may have had a review or input.
any idiot can google search... it's nice to get a real world review from a human.

I have used Thule racks and carriers on my '03 WJ and am really satisfied with the results, having used inferior systems prior. You're on the right track with the Thule setup, and I believe you'll be satisfied as well. My philosophy: cheap things are not good, good things are not cheap.
