Default new "aero roof rack"

Has anyone tried, or gotten any feedback on the new "aero series" rack system from Thule?

Default Pics would be great....(more)

I need the bike setup for the summer, snowboards for the winter. Is it a real PITA to change the fixtures? How's the wind roar? Approximate cost....Thanks

I will post some pics this afternoon for you .

It's set me back about 300 bucks with the snowboard attachment, shipped and all.

I don't have the bike setup yet but if it is any thing like the snowboard one, it is a snap to put on and take off, it takes about 5 mins.

the wind noise is very minimal, I had the yakima setup w/ the fairing and this setup is even quieter w/out a fairing than the yakima.

I am pretty sure you will love it.

Pics will be up later.

Which pieces/parts do you have? The Rack Warehouse told me that the Thule Aero Bars will not work on the Allroad -- some issue with the parts that mount the cross bars to the roof rails; their fitment guide indicates that only rectangular cross bars are specified for the correct mounts. Thanks.
