Question:
@RobinH I have a 2017 Audi q7. It’s a 3 row SUV, with flush rails on the roof. Knowing the specs of the vehicle, will the 50 inch fit with a specific type of tower feet?

Hi Ashanti; the 50" crossbars will be cutting it close on your 2017 Audi Q7 but I believe they will fit. The standard roof rack is the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points # TH56TG which uses the 53" bars.
Looking at them installed on a 2024 there isn't a lot of overhang, but I think they will make it. What I would do is get go ahead and get the feet # TH49SC and fit kit # TH52RE and continue with the installation. Worst case scenario you will need to upgrade to the 53" bars # TH711420 which you can order separately, and then I would sell the old 50" bars to recover the cost.
What will you be using the roof rack for?

I’ll be adding a goodboy OC1v bar system. I have two outrigger canoes and 2 amas. The boats are 16 inches wide and 19 feet long, and weighs about 20 pounds.
