Question:

Looking at getting a Yakima Baseline FX roof rack system for my 2023 F150. I have a panoramic sunroof. Would the crossbars interfere with the opening of the sunroof?

Expert Reply:

Yes, any roof rack, including the Yakima BaseLine FX Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # Y56UV, would most likely prevent you from being able to open your panoramic sunroof. Even if the crossbars clear the glass there's always the chance that whatever weight you out on top of them could cause them to dip down enough and touch so roof rack manufacturers don't ever approve of opening the sunroof while the crossbars are installed.

If you'd still like to use these crossbars then you'll also need the BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers # Y27FR in order to mount them on the roof of your 2023 Ford F-150.
