Jeep put these 12 threaded buttons (6 per side) on the roof. Nice right.  Well almost.  First of all they used the front and back ones to hold the fancy channels used to take roof bars, then are held down via the 4 in the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sw-h\"\u003eJeep Grand Cherokee Roof Load Restrictions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiggest problem is they are located on a section the the roof that can't really take much weight at all. Hence why Jeep gave the roof some crappy load rating. This is because if you put more load up there you're going to damage your roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen we have some roof rack manufacturers (not Offroad Animal) who mount their roof rack directly onto these buttons. No no, bad choice. Say hello damaged roof if you put anymore weight up there (don't forget to add the weight of the roof rack too.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sw-h\"\u003eOffroad Animal Engineered Roof Racks Rated to 240kg\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffroad Animal has a cool system that ups the roof loading to 120kg dynamic (driving) and 240kg static (sitting still.)
