Welcome to NICO!

Your vehicle is not pre-drilled for the roof rails. A better solution would be an aftermarket setup, something like the Thule car roof racks. Unfortunately a quick check of the Thule site indicates they don't currently offer anything for your vehicle. Aftermarket stuff for the Rogue lineup has always been anemic compared to other vehicles. Then there's the fact that the Sport model is still a fairly new vehicle with limited sales. Given that, there's no great incentive for the aftermarket manufacturers to put money into the R&D to make parts for such a niche market.

Thanks for answer. I thought they would all be predrilled. I doubt i would use the rack, just preferred the look with the rails.

If they were predrilled you would have holes in the roof.............
