Nice pics Scott, thanks! I notice that the rear crossbar is slightly lower than the front one and that it results in the roof box assuming a nose-up stance, it does not look right. Any way of using a spacer on the rear crossbar to ensure optimal aerodynamics and more acceptable horizontal posture of the box?

Looks great
!!! Just by chance, would you know the overall height from the ground to the top of the Cargo Box? Curious about whether or not it would clear standard garage door height. I don't think so, but ya never know. Thanks.

Looks just like my Thule minus the price and the badge. ![Wink](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Mine doesn't clear my garage but it's real easy to take off and hardly weighs anything.
One thing to note though is you should thoroughly check all the latch points when you get one. It's wonderful plastic crap and the first box I received over half of them were broken.

Just curious...why did you choose that one over the regular Thule version? I think with your dark black Q5 (like my blue) the all-black Thule would look better. And the cost savings would be a plus too. I'm leaning towards the Thule 1600 others have posted about.
