Thule Roof rack
Good day,
Looking to buy factory Thule roof rack for my CM and looking to see if there are any board members that have them installed on their CM. If you do, may you post a pic?
There seems to be a newer version that is more integrated than the typical aeroblades. Looks nice but not sure if I want to go that route as I usually have 3 bikes on top. However I know that I am not looking to go with the oem.
Thank you so much!
Cheers!

I ended up buying the OEM rack on Ebay for half the price of the Aeroblade Edge.

I had the Thule Aeroblade Edge system on my Touareg. Loved that it was low profile but didn't like that it used a strap to secure the crossbars to the rack. It might be tight putting 3 bikes on it. You are probably better off with the non-edge Aeroblade.

On a more serious note, I know what you mean. That is why I am thinking about the 47 inch instead of the new intergrated one. Low profile but would not fit my 3 Thule Sidearms. As for the straps, I can tell you that it holds pretty good. Have no issue with it at all.

I opted to go with an aftermarket rack, as I’m not a fan of the height of the oem style.
I went with with a pretty elaborate rhino rack setup consisting of:
Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" Long - Qty 2
Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform - Universal Mount - 58" Long x 47" Wide
I’ve got a bunch of components that can attach to the c channels in the rack and platform, so it should be pretty versatile.
I’m still waiting on my SE so I do t have any photos yet, but I will post some up when I can.
