Question:

Hi, just got a 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid. Will these rails with an attached cargo box interfere with the moon roof? The feet look pretty low. Thanks,

Hi Beth,

Yes, all manufacturers note that they do not recommend opening any moon/sun roofs while crossbars are installed. Speaking from experience you also will not want to open the roof with crossbars on because the sound will be loud and annoying. The Thule WingBar Roof Rack # TH73RE, # TH29SC, # TH93KE is only 4" tall so you'd likely have about 2.5"- 3" of clearance between the roof rack and roof so you'd need to measure how high the moon roof extends up in order to determine if it will clear.
