does any one have roof rack on their a6 sedan?
does oem roof rack give clean look or is their any other manufacture gives it clean look?
and it seems it's impossible to find an used one unlike ones for A4's...lol

I think I'm getting thule aero bars...
I used to have roof rack on my previous car, but it made so much noise, and the reflector made it even more annoying.
so I end up using towing hitch for bike rack and stuff...
since the cross bar sits right above the sunroof on A6, does it bother you at all???

good good...i was looking for an used one to save some bucks, but it seems there's none.
getting brand new thule set would cost a little over $300...not bad but the ones for A4's are so cheap and there are so many...
