Anyone installed this on a 7 seater with pano roof and had a thule/box on top with the roof opened? The roof panel sits higher than the factory rails.

We have opened our panoramic sunroof as well, but not on highway, only once got to destination and local travel there, but also took our carrier off for the majority of the vacation so it wasn't really an issue...

I have opened the pano roof with these installed and everything was fine. The clearance is in millimeters but it is clear.

We have the 4 seater/extended roof and have not tried it yet. I hope that it would fit yours. Good luck!

I test fitted a Thule XL which is about the same length. I had no problem adjusting the sliding clamps to the bars. Since yours has the same features I see no problem. Those clamps are meant to fit all types of bar styles and it definitly works w/ VW roof racks. The reason why I didn't buy the Force was its length, it stuck out too much in the front. I'm worried about highway speeds and the lift from all the air. Hopefully you won't run into that using the 16.

I lam not sure if you r question is if the SUV tent works with a roof rack ? I don't know. I bought one for my RToyota Sienna. The roof rack did interfere with the closure at top but I dont think that it would have fit anyhow. I put the Tent on once and returned it. It did not fit well around the sides or bottom. I returned it and the seller was gracious about refunding... I purchased a Tail Vail and it works beautifully and provides much more space.. All this unit seems to do is allow you to leave the tail open while you sleep.

I wish I could help but I have a grand cherokee! But it does fit without an issue with the panoramic roof in the Grand Cherokee.

It's find with a Landcrusier but a Rav has a smaller roof surface area. Suggest you contact Thule customer service.

I'm trying to follow what you are explaining. I believe your problem is that you need to install the clamps for the cross bars on the roof rails before you put the crossbars in them. The instructions should explain everything. If you need any further assistance, feel free to email me back and I can try to get a more detailed explanation for you. Thank you, Richie Mastria Mazda Parts Team

I actually did have this mounted (Position 13) on my 2010 Forester which is basically the same car before the styling change without issue but...This car does not have the optional rear "spoiler" above the back glass. The upper straps, after the rack is ratcheted down with bikes mounted does put a decent load on this area and if a spoiler present, it might not support this load very well. If your car does have the spoiler, this will not work without damage.

I chose and use a Thule soft-sides cargo carrier, but you could use their hard shell cargo carriers as well. You have to attach the cargo carrier to the roof rack, of course. Hope this information about what I have done helps.

Hi there! You know, I honestly think they do. You're referring to Thule Cargo Carriers, right? If so, then yeah - the carriers have open loops on the bottom that should slide onto any roof racks. So these should indeed work out for you :)But just to be on the safe side, you'd probably wanna check out the Thule website and see if there's more info about it.

Hi Andre, you will need to see our "buyer's guide" for the recommended Thule roof rack system for your vehicle. The crossbars are separate to this product, but both are compatible. Thanks!

Conrad, this roof rack attaches at the door hinges in front and where the stock bumper attaches in the rear. Not sure what your set up looks like, but that may give you an idea of what to look at to see if it will fit. If your mods have changed any of that then you may need to make some adjustments.

When we probably overpacked ours the front didn't line up perfect with it maybe riding up a half an inch but it wasn't open to where you could see inside. We drove with it that way without problems. I suspect you've got too much up front if you have an actual gap/opening or a defective top.

Not sure what size "pod" you have but I have the Thule Force Roof Box and it works great with this rack on our 2012 Traverse.

I used a GM box and it fit fine. The bars are adjustable as far as the length of any box you use the main concern is width. As long as it is narrow enough to fit between the roof rails it should be no problem.

hey Barbara, though I hadnt tried a "box" on my roof I would imagine you should have little issue.. Guessing the part number ref above is for the factory Mini crossbars, then you can install many different options, ski attachments shown at left..you could CALL your local mini dealer and ask if your particular roof box may fit a Mini bar...sorry not more help...im in phx if you wondered 2012 countryman
