Can someone confirm if I can do this?

I want to put the standard ski rack along side a luggage carrier. Can I do that on the R roof rack? If so, what is the biggest carrier I can get that would fit next to the ski rack.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Pics, details?

Does anyone have pics of their roof rack systems. I am in need to expand cargo space and looking for a solution.

I found thule has this set:

Roof rack: Thule #460R Rapid* Podium Foot Pack for cars with fixed roof rack mounting points (fixpoints). $143.10
Fir kit: Thule Podium Fit Kits. $54
Load bars: Thule #RB43, #RB47 or #RB53 aluminum load bars. Crossbars for Thule roof rack systems. $90

That should be pretty complete package. Anybody have experience with it?

I guess a cargo box (hard or soft) would be an option too, no need for the laod bars I assume. Anyone have experience with soft bag like: Thule #846 Quest Cartop Bags. Car Roof top cargo bag carriers. ?
Does the fost back require load bars?

Thanks!

I just ordered roof rack from dealerfit.com. Can't wait to see how my black Thule Atlantis 1800 look on it.

Here is a photo of my R with the MB Roof Mounts w/Thule Carrier and Hitch Mounted Twin Bike Rack.

Roof Carrier and Bike Rack are very easy to install and remove.

I thought I'd throw these pics in this thread as well, I went with the Thule 460R (and the R specific 3038 fit kit), it makes better use of available space, is lower on the roof, and is more fairing compatible as the fairing is at a much better angle making the rack very quiet.

Thanks for the pictures. But, I can't really tell if it is on a regular sunroof or a panaroma roof? Is there a difference between the two roof?

You can have roof rack on both, even with the big panorama (I have it).
