Question:
Thule Force XT L will it fit a 2019 Audi Q5?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black AeroSkin # TH6357B fits crossbars that are no more than 3-1/2" wide and no more than 1-11/16" tall. It also requires a crossbar spread of 23-5/8" - 33". Crossbar spread is the distance between crossbars measuring from center to center (see attached photo). As long as your crossbars meet these requirements then it will work well for you.
If you do not have a roof rack installed then I recommend looking into a set of aerodynamic bars which are typically low-profile and reduce noise and vibration compared to other setups. Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and Rhino-Rack SRB Legs # RRSX030 would make for a great kit that would safely hold the Thule Force XT L Cargo Box. This crossbar setup has a weight capacity of 220lbs, but be sure you never exceed the weight capacity of your roof. There is an integrated top track which allows track-mounted accessories to be easily installed or removed. I attached a couple installation videos for you to check out.
