Recommended Thule Roof Rack For 2015 Audi Q5 With Factory Flush Rails

Question

Question:

I have a 2015 Audi Q5 with factory installed roof rails. I am looking for low profile cross rails to fit. Would I be able to open the pano sunroof with the aero Thule cross rails? The ones Audi offers seem to be higher.

On your 2015 Audi Q5, the roof rack I recommend that is probably the most low profile is the Thule # TH711320, Feet # TH710601, and Fit Kit # TH186019. This will use locks # TH450400.

It is not suggested to open the sunroof when the rack is in use.
