Factory sedan roof rack base bars mounting system?
I saw the Mercedes E550 has the coolest rack mounting system I've seen yet:

note that there are hardpoints on the root, with little doors covering them and the rack mounts to the hardpoints - no contact with the paint at all! No interference with the door seals either.... I'm frankly in awe!
Is the C7 rack mounting system the same as I described above for my C5, or has it been improved somehow?
TIA,
Richard
It's sad that Audi doesn't see these kinds of things as a competitive disadvantage. Mercedes doesn't even tout this feature - I found it while perusing their PDF owner's manual ... see another thread for my griping on that lack from Audi
