Will Thule Roof Rack Fit 2015 Ford Edge with Panoramic Glass Roof
Published 11/06/2017
Question:
I note you are recommending roof rack systems for Ford Edges with panoramic roofs. When i contacted Ford, they do not recommend installing roof rack systems on this vehicle. What is your advise for this 2015 vehicle?

Thule, who is the roof rack industry leader, has test fit their roof racks on a 2015 Ford Edge with a panoramic roof just like yours and found that it fit and worked well. For that you'd want the part numbers # TH7602B-TH7603B and # THKIT4047. While we can't recommend going against the manufacturer of the vehicle when it comes to roof rack accessories as Ford is who will honor the warranty of the vehicle, I would be curious to see if the person you spoke with didn't misunderstand you and thought maybe you were asking if there was a Ford roof rack solution.
Only reason I say that is Thule is very cautious with their vehicle fits as they do not want to be responsible for damaging the roof of your vehicle. What's also interesting is that the roof rack fit I mentioned is designed to attach to factory fixed mounting points for a roof rack on your vehicle. That means Ford purposefully put mounting points on the roof of your vehicle for installing a roof rack like this.
