AnnieW1025 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) How much weight can these factory installed side rails really carry on them? Want to put a cargo box on it and not sure if they are strong enough. Thanks! Edited June 22, 2009 by AnnieW1025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rails are rock solid with the crossbars installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put thee factory side rails on my 2009 edge with the vista roof and carry a Thule box on top with around 60 pounds and have had no problems. I drove it on a road trip to Canada about 1700 miles and it worked Perfect. Hope this helps GL Oh if you have the Vista roof the roof I dont think it will open if you use the factory crossbars.
