These are raised compared to the normal wingbars. Did they have problems with the roofbox too close to the roof ?

You also have the Skiguard 830 witch looks amasing

Got my Thule Vector M roof box. Still waiting for the roof bars and the Taycan. Won’t make it before wintersport holiday in two weeks unfortunately. I think it will look great on the Taycan and it is really aerodynamic and well build.

the front of the box is 2-3 cm lower than the middle part. I think it will be ok with the Thule bars on the Taycan.

could anyone having the wingbars measure how much space is left between the roofbar and the roof?

This looks like Thule's French Polynesia site. When I look at the US site, it still shows nothing unavailable for US market?

Yes, it seems they are now not showing on US site, but multiple places (etrailer, Amazon, etc) have them. I ordered the feet from etrailer and bars from Amazon. They showed up in 3 days.

My CT cross bars are strictly for show. I never had any intention of putting something on the roof. Are most people getting the bars for the utility?

I am getting them to put on a roof box for holiday trips twice a year. The trunk is to small for our family of four and a dog.

Good stuff. The point of this variant to provide more capability for things like this. I am primarily after the additional ride height for bad weather and bad roads. I may have to explore the additional luggage capacity with the bars at some point. ?

Mine arrived today. Got a good price at my local Thule dealer, better than online. Thule Vector M arrived last week. Now just have to wait 6 weeks for the Taycan. The Vector M will be used on our other car for wintersport. Did a test drive last week. Fuel consumption was just a tiny bit more. It did make noise. I hope with the insulated glass of the Taycan and wingbars it will be less.

Looks good. What roof box is this ?

Thule motion XL i believe. Its pretty big, just so you are warned ?

Thanks for posting. Yes that is big, you can take a lot of stuff on holiday. I have a Vector M. I hope it has enough room and aerodynamics are a bit bitter.

I presume the clamps to lock on the bars are the same. Is there enough space between the clamps and the glass roof? And between te box it self and the roof ?

is you range much lower with the box?

I'm hesitating to take the Motion XL or Vector M. any help on that?
Is it worth the price difference? do you have enough space in the Vector to put other things than skis/snowboards?
