If you have every wanted to see one, here it is. If you need it for a trip, I also have two bike racks that can be mounted on top.

Feel Free to Ask ??'s, Dustin

This is the rack that I have been interested in for sea kayaks. I'm glad to see that you spread it further apart than Thule showed in the layout. Have you noticed any roof deformation? Do you have a sunroof, and if so, does the rack interfere with the opeing?

3 1/2 inches

Hey Red Ryder,

Thule sets the feet on the bars and the feet setup just right. I dont have a sunroof, but FYI, the inside edge of the feet are 3.5 inches from the top edge of the rain gutters. It should'nt be an issue with your sun roof. I'll leave them on the car for the 18th meeting. I also move them based on what I'm doing.

Hope that helps, Dustin

I guess I'm more interested in what the sunroof will hit when it tilts back, if anything.

If anyone is interested in getting a thule rack (out of box, but new) I have one for sale. Search the marketplace for Thule and then look for a post with my name. I am also willing to negotiate, since its been sitting around waiting to be sold for a while. PM me if your interested. And sorry to hi-jack.
