Question:

Hi I am interested in the Thule Roof Rack - TH7602B-TH7602B. I have an 2018 Audi Q5. Do i need a fit kit or something to make this work?

Expert Reply:

Roof racks are custom fits for vehicles, and the Thule rack you mentioned is an entire kit and won't fit on your 2018 Audi Q5, although there is a rack with the same style which does. So long as you have flush-mounted rails there is a rack from Inno which has crossbars match the width of your Audi's roof:

- Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB100-108
- Inno Flush Feet for Aero Crossbars - Flush Side Rails # INXS400
- Custom Fit Kit for Inno # INTR138

For a Thule roof rack, they have a style where the crossbars are longer than the mounting feet, which is preferable to a lot of people as they offer more space to carry cargo:

- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711220 (Black) OR # TH711200 (Silver)
- Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710601
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail Feet # TH186045
- (Optional) Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400
