Roof Rack and Cargo Box Recommendation for a 2013 Audi A4 with Naked Roof
Question:
Hello, I have a 2013 Audi A4 and want to purchase the SportRack SR7095 XL Cargo Box but I am uncertain of what roof rack I need that will work with my car and this cargo box. Please advise what roof racks will work. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
To carry a cargo box on the roof of your 2013 Audi A4 you would first need to start with a roof rack like the Rhino Rack roof rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK208 that you referenced.
Now this rack would have a crossbar spread of 27-1/2 inches (distance between the two bars measured on center). I have a solution for you, but the Sportrack SR7095 would not fit this crossbar spread so it would not be the correct one to use. The Sportrack can only fit a spread of 21-1/2 inches.
The Thule Sidekick part # TH78GC is a very similar cargo box that would fit the bars and would work well.
