I read about it on one of the forums, where the author actually bought this roof rack.
https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho...pbar+roof+rack
He wrote a great article about the roof rack and compared it the OEM. I believe most thule accessories will work on this system. It has the same slot on top for the square bolts that side into and mount the accessories.
Hope this helps. The only picture I have seen is from their web site. I like the fact that the rack is curved to the shape of the roof line.
But you found the write up, I see.

Any pictures of the US Thule roof rack ?

FYI:

I tried ordering the set up from RoofRackShop.UK on April 27. A few days after ordering, I had received no update on shipping and contacted them and was told that my items would ship shortly.

Then, on May 7, ten days after ordering, I received the following reply:

'There is a significant delay on the items you have ordered arriving into the UK. Your order has been cancelled and a full refund issued. You may reorder when the items are back in stock. Apologies for any inconvenience.'

Kind of rubs me the wrong way, as it took over a week for them to tell me that I wouldn't get my order (after they charged my card). They are selling things that they don't have in stock and have no way of knowing if they'll even be able to get the items before selling them. This violates rule #1 of retail - don't sell something you don't have.

I ended up ordering the US Thule aero rack and the Thule Atlantis 1800 from REI. It should be delivered tomorrow and I'll post photos of the set up.

I have been meaning to take several pictures of the US Thule roof rack and of the Thule Atlantis 1800 that I recently purchased for my 2010 Q7, but I forgot to do it before I took the box off recently. The next time I put the box on, I'll take several picture of all of the components.

In the meantime, here's the US Thule roof rack - I had to pick up some timber from Home Depot today and the looks on people's faces when they see me strap stuff like this to the top of my Audi is priceless:



The rack is great for strapping things down with.
