Roof Rack for 2019 Tesla Model S with Glass Roof and No Roof Fixtures

Question

Question:

I'm in need of a roof rack for our Tesla S with a glass roof. I see you have the suction cup racks. Don't want that. Any actual roof racks for my S?

Yes, we have a quality Thule roof rack for your 2019 Tesla S 4-door that has a glass roof and no roof fixtures.

For the quietest available rack look to the aerodynamic WingBar Evo rack system. This rack securely attaches to your roof and features 53-inch aero-style crossbars that will make less noise than all other bar shapes. It has a 165-lb weight rating and a wide 36-inch bar spacing for a stable base for whatever items you intend to load.

This rack is offered with black or silver crossbars. For a black roof rack order parts # TH711420, # TH460R and # THKIT3153 or for silver bars order parts # TH711400, # TH460R and # THKIT3153. Installation is shown in the linked video. I recommend Lock Kit # TH450400 to allow locking the rack to the Tesla.

The WingBars work well with most accessories and they allow mounting such items either with the standard wrap-around clamps like those on the Motion XT Cargo Box # TH629706 and also inside the bars' top channels which accept T-Slot type carriers.

The SeaSucker vacuum cup roof rack # 298-SX6000B that you referenced is a great option for those who don't need a roof rack installed at all times. Its powerful vacuum cups can handle enormous amounts of weight - a full 200-lbs of pull strength for each of the six vacuum cups. This is a great way to transport recreational items that you don't need to use every day.
