Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack Fit on 2016 Toyota Highlander Limited w/ Sunroof
Question:
Hi I am curious if the Aeroblade edge 7603 with the kit 3134 will interfere with the sunroof on the highlander? I just picked up a 2016 Limited platinum with sunroof and panorama roof. I really want to leave bars mounted all the time and also have a sleeker profile compared to the Toyota factory ugly option. I ask this question because I started looking at Yakima Whispbars first and it states cannot open sunroof with them. Also what is the length of the 7603 bar as it appears the distance from mounting holes on the side rails is around 47? Thanks

According to my Thule representative, the presence of the sunroof won't interfere with the installation of the AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack, but they don't test to see how far the sun roof will open. The # TH7063 AeroBlade Edge crossbar is 38-1/4 inches long by 3-1/8 inches wide and 1-1/8 inches thick.
The rack consists of the # TH7603-TH7603 crossbars and the # THKIT3134 fit kit.
