Good Morning, All.

First time poster. Wife and I just bought a new 2019 Kicks SV in Super Black. Loving it so far. Didn't notice it at the time, but there are no roof rails on the SV (at least in Canada). Where the rails would go, there is a plastic trim covering the groove. Based on that alone, I'm guessing it's possible to install roof rails, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Dealer wants to charge $850 for rails and installation.

Has anyone installed rails on their Kicks, or know of any aftermarket distributors?

I'm curious to see if anyone else has had any luck.

Not wanting all of the added cameras, non-cloth interior, and speaker headrest that comes with the Canadian SR model, I bought the Kicks SV over a year ago. Thinking there would be an aftermarket rack system developed for naked roofs sometime in the near future, I didn't get too hung up on the lack of flush rails. HUGE mistake! I desperately want/need a roof rack to accommodate boats, camping gear, lumber, etc. and there still isn't a solution available

I've connected with Yakima and Thule seeking out a development date and made my intentions to throw money their way VERY clear. Still no luck. I guess there isn't enough of a demand... (Please write to them!) To top it off, I can't seem to convince any Nissan dealers in my area to drill through the roof of my 2019 SV to have flush rails installed, so i'm surprised/impressed that you at least got a price from one

FWIW, I was told that the holes are already there (they just covered it up with that black plastic trim). The killer part is when you Build+Price online, you add crossbars to the SV... I've put my feelers out to Thule. I find it strange no naked roof kit exists from any manufacturer.

I bought some from Nissan Parts Deal dot com and they were easy to install - OG manufacturer and shipped quickly

To confirm, the "Roof Rack Assembly RH + LH" ? And you installed this on an S or SV?
