Will Roof Rack Work with a 2020 BMW X3 with a Sunroof

Question:

Hello. After speaking with Thule, they were adamant about warning against using this set up when the vehicle has a panoramic sun roof. What is your experience with this? Is this a real concern regarding interference with sunroof? I assume this will work as long as you use all top mount t-slot type mounted accessories? Can you confirm?

If Thule warns against using the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack on your 2020 BMW X3 with a sunroof, then I will second them.

Instead, I recommend going with a system that has been shown to work with your sunroof. It's the Yakima Roof Rack. The crossbars are the JetStream Crossbars, part # Y00425. The towers are the SightLine Towers, part # Y64AR. The fit clip is part # Y62CR.
