Got my THULE roof box on

Thanks to Dutch for the rails! Roof rack looks pretty good. I can't wait till ski season to load it up.

Thanks for posting the photos.
What crossbars did you put on? Do they interfere with the sunroof opening?
Was there any issue with your box hitting the antenna on your roof?

Any input would be appreciated. I'm looking at a rack system now and trying to figure out what to get.

Thanks

They are the Thule AeroBlade Edge bars. If placed properly, the sunroof can be tilted up open at the back; but you cannot open it fully, since the glass slides back exterior to the roof.

I just have the front sunroof and I can open it fully as it slides into the body plus I can tilt it all the way up. The THULE roof box clears the rear shark fin. I purchased this roof box to go along with the THULE aeroblades I got from Dutch. I bought the automotive grade black one. Sorry for the bugs...
