Same with aftermarket ones. On my aftermarket roof rack it can slide only 3-4" itches before it makes contact with the attachment.

Are the roof racks properly mounted?
Any videos out there showing this problem?

My aftermarket cross bars do not allow for raising/ opening the pano roof fully. Just a crack before it contacts cross bar.
Its a compromise between lower profile and windage noises… vs roof glass panel use with loads on top.
Im ok with it as is…only use cross bars when roof loading required. Aftermarket cross bar quality and secure use very acceptable.

Just bought Inno (Japanese brand) carrier / cross bars and there's enough clearance for the panoramic sunroof to fully open, no matter the position of the crossbars along the rails. They are extremely easy to put on/off, less than 5min total. Downsides: they start to quietly whistle above 30MPH but I think this will go away with a load; they are rated for 165lbs which is decently less than OEM.
Here are the model #s that work:
I've used the Inno surfboard rack for a decade so I know the longevity of the product is good.
Here's a video demo of the overhang model, the rail clamping is the same and gives you an idea of how fast it is to install and remove.
Here are the model #s that work:
- XS100 aero base
- XB108 42" aero bar
- XB115 45" aero bar

Seems suitable for urban use. I'm a kayaker, and a much stronger Yakima was damaged by a strong northeasterly gust while I was going 65 MPH on the turnpike. Yakima replaced it but it was scary and dangerous getting off the highway.

Yes I wouldn't trust this with a kayak, rooftop cargo box would be fine though. I already have a Kuat hitch rack so no bikes on the roof for me.

Finally pulled the trigger on the Thule Evo Raised Rail and the Wingbar Evo 50" in black, will report once installed. The OEM one sits a bit too high and it's silver, I prefer black being it an AMG Night Package, you know. Will have either a roof basket or ski rack on them. Getting ready for Thanksgiving trip so gotta have these bars ready!

Yakima Aero Vs Thule Wingbar Edge
Hi, I need to buy crossbars for my GLE 350 MY `21. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to choose between Yakima Aero or Thule Wingbar Edge?
I really like the slim design of the Yakima model, that it is close to the roof.
To me it doesn't matter if not able to open the pano roof since will only use the crossbars during winter.
Any advice much appreciated
