Will Thule Roof Rack Interfere with Panoramic Sunroof on 2018 BMW X1?
Question:
Hi, I would like to order the Thule Aeroblade Edge Part Numbers: TH7602-TH7603,THKIT4023 for my 2018 BMW X1 but I have a panoramic sunroof and I dont know if the Aeroblade Edge will interfere with the operation of the sunroof. Will the Aeroblade Edge work with the sunroof or do I have to order the Aeroblade with the rapid podium foot pack to allow clearance for the sunroof operation? I prefer the look of the Edge over using the rapid podium foot pack. Thanks

I spoke with a representative of Thule who told me that you would be able to install the Thule Aeroblade Edge # TH711120, # TH710601 and Fit Kit # TH186007 and it will not interfere with the operation of the sunroof on your 2018 BMW X1. They did caution that it is possible when using a cargo carrier or other accessory that clamps onto the rack you may not be able to fully operate the sunroof because the clamps could interfere.
I do recommend protecting your investment with the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400 in order to lock the rack to your BMW's side rails. I've added links to video reviews of these products for you to take a look at as well.
