Thule Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Audi Q5

Question

Question:

HI, I want to put a roof rack on this car that will not interfere with the operation of the sunroof. I have a Thule cargo carrier that looks similar to the side kick. I like the look of the Aero Bars. Thx

For your for your 2018 Audi Q5 we have the Thule WingBar system consisting of # TH711420, # TH710601, and # TH186045, and you can then use # TH450400 for locks to deter theft and protect your investment.

With this rack (and all other roof racks) you'll have to keep the sunroof closed at all times when the rack is installed. Even if you could open the sunroof you wouldn't want to since it would cause quite a bit of wind noise.
