So those are static? A little bit of rake but that looks quite nice! Thanks for the pics and info!

These look really good. Hope to get a pair this week and I will be running various attachments. I will try to post up some pics when I can.

Do you have a picture of the flow box on your Q7? Any issues with rear tailgate clearance when opening? Thanks.

I am about to install the Thule bars on our Q7 with the BOP. Have any of you put a piece of PPF (Paint Protection Film) on the load bar to prevent the Thule bar from scuffing the finish on the BOP? Is this needed? Or could this actually cause more issues? Thanks!!

No need from what I saw. Looks like the bars sit on the rails on a rubber pad. Very unlikely to scratch. The bars are secured using screws in threaded inserts under the doors in the rails.
I would only worry about that on a vehicle where you are putting the rubber pads directly on the painted roof.... which I did on my A8L before putting flush mount Rhino Rack Cross Bars...

thanks, i was just worried the rubber pad may scuff the Black Optic paint on the rail.
