  1. So good. Reckon you just need to sort the badges and then its perfect!
  2. Also rocking the black Thules and wingbars. Loaded up the family and bikes this weekend
  3. Good to know. Thanks for posting. Mine are only a couple of months old, but will be keeping an eye on them now. Cheers.
  4. So an interesting post script to this. That middle bike rack faces backwards, which means there is a nice long flat bit that sits directly above an open sunroof. Had some rain the other night, followed by a beautiful morning, so family loaded in the car, sun roof open and off we go. First hard stop and the water that (unbeknown to me) had settled in bike rack overnight came pouring in through the sunroof. Freak out ensued, but thankfully (by incredible luck) the water ran straight into the (thankfully empty) cup holders where it was easily mopped up. Anyway, lesson learned! Oh, and its also a heck of a lot noisier up there with the roof open!
  5. Have just been through this process. That's to the previous posters, made it a lot easier. I've gone with the Thule rapid system 775 footing. They provide plenty of clearance. Sunroof operates as it always has. One thing to note, with all the proride bike carriers on the roof, there is a lot of wind noise when the roof is open. It's not unbearable, but it's definitely there! Anyway, some pics of the result. I think they look awesome in the black.
