Recommended Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for 2015 Audi Q7 for Transporting 4 Kayaks
Question:
Hello, I am looking for a roof rack for my Audi Q7 MY 2015 with flush rails. Your site allows me to choose Rhino Rack RRVA126S-2 and RRSX027. As I need a base carrier to transport four kayaks i already have the Thule Stacker 830 i would like to replace the bars with RRVA150S-2. Does this work on my Q7? Are there any other options/racks wide enough to carry four kayaks? Best Regards

Expert Reply:
The Rhino-Rack Vortex rack system for your 2015 Audi Q7 that consists of parts # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX027 features black 49-inch aero crossbars. If you prefer you can substitute the longer 59-inch silver Vortex bars, part # RRVA150S-2, but note that they may stick out beyond the edges of the roof line. An install video is linked for you.
The Thule Stacker kayak carrier # TH830 will fit these aero style bars.
Since you're intending to carry 4 kayaks on your 2015 Audi Q7 I suggest you confirm in your owner's manual or with your local dealership what the car's roof weight carrying capacity is. It is possible that the combined weight of the four kayaks plus the weight of the carrier (6-lbs) and roof rack (about 12-lbs) could be up near the car's limit so its a good idea to check.
