what are the cross section dimensions en the bars. Do the front bar differ from the back bar?

There's a label on one that says "Front," but I can't see a bit of difference between the two bars.

Not for the cross bar. Came with the nut and washers for the top though. I just went and bought new bolts from the hardware store.

The front black bar is where the 7" is at. If you go behind that bar you have 8 3/4 " clearance. The center speaker that you have in there is 8 3/4 " high. We just had to put the speaker in then put the top glass on. Works great.

The front and rear roof cross bars are included just like you see in the photo. These are genuine VW roof racks from Germany. Thule might be the manufacturer for VW but install manual and packaging is from VW. The package comes with the the T bar tool, rubber strip(for top of cross bars), & parts/install manual. I also bought the ski attachment and everything fits great. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I have no idea; I had to return the bars since I couldn't find the attachments to my own bars. Sorry.

I don't know exactly but they sell different size bars on the retrospec website.

Mine measures as follows: 17.5" across the back and 17" across the front. Front to back is 8".

the bars span the full width of the distance between the roof rails - I am away from the X3 right now to provide any more details.

On left or right sides - 6" then 4.5" then 6" gap.Going top down 10 bars = 8.5" It's just shy of 1"Hope this helps, let me know if you want better measurementsKirk

As I recall, bars angled back about 20 deg. My bike was stolen shortly after bar instalation.

The front cross bar fit absolutely perfectly. The rear cross bar was not a perfect fit. The only way I can describe the fitment is it almost looked as if the rear rail was warped. One screw hole on each end of the bar was about a quarter inch bent in. When you put the screw through the cross bar and then the existing rail, the "warped fitment" is pulled out and sits flush. It's odd that it would lay that way initially, but the problem is corrected once the the screws are in place.

I hope before you go with this read my comments as to the questionable design problems. As to the width it is approx 25 inches from bar to bar, this is a very comfortable width. You cannot adjust the width, also the bars must be very carefully assembled, otherwise they will have a lot of play in their posts.

Dont know exact length...but they fit perfect across out 2012 pathfinder. Front bar has specific position...rear ones have 3 different positions. All you have to do is screw in mounts to vertical bars...then screw horizontal bar into mounts...took 25 minuted

It is just the two cross bars. My Subaru Crosstrek already had the sidebars.

Johnny, Don't have those dimenions as I have added saddle bags and not convenient to measure. However I can tell you that I matched up the front mounting holes and the rear holes were about 2" off. I marked and drilled those holes (on the sissy bar mount not the bike frame) out myself and it fit just fine. This was the best priced one I could find. Reasonable price for the quality you are getting. A heavier made bar would be a lot more expensive.

The crossbars slide with the mounts until you tighten the bolts down. The difference will be the amount of bar which hangs over each side. Use a tape measure to get an idea of how wide you want the bars to be. Some buy the bars for some purpose which may require a wider bar (a canoe). I am happy with the quality but....they do add wind noise to my Mazda.

When I was putting it on the back bar didn't align perfectly. That said, if you put all the bolts in loosely and tighten them you will not have a problem. I wouldn't let this issue stop you from buying the racks, but I was glad I knew about it when I was putting them on. They look so much better than the other general fit crossbars that are out there.
