Anyone have any issues with the panoramic sunroof opening with you rooftop boxes (Thule, Inno, OEM): Would rarely need to open a sunroof when a box is on, but I noticed Audi sight says panoramic sunroof may require additional hardware for rooftop OEM boxes. Please post if anyone has had issues with that.

Here is a recommendation from e-trailer that lists the reasons for not using the sunroof in these circumstances: https://www.etrailer.com/question-178427.html

Does anyone have any idea what the height of the Audi OEM rack/crossbars are, or the total height of a 2018 Q7 at its highest point once the OEM rack/crossbars are installed?

I'm going to say around 70". As I recall I measured my Thule bars and was around 69". Can confirm tonight. From what I've seen, the OE ones don't seem to be more than an inch taller.

For those interested in the OEM racks for the Q7 4M models, the height of the front roof rack at the top is a bit less than 4” from the roof at the center of the rail.

Thule Atlantis 1800 (I think - it’s been a few years since I bought it for my Avant). Easily enough room for a family outing to skiing. Or car camping.
