Roof Rack Options?

[TheTank]

I took home my '16 B8.5 A4 a little over a month ago and I am now in the market for a roof rack for hauling a mountain bike and eventually skis/snowboards. I am leaning towards the Whispbar Flush Bars (http://www.whispbar.com/product/flush-bar/) since they seem to be the quietest and best looking option (IMO). On their website the 2016 A4 is not an option. This may be a dumb question, but would the 2015 A4 version be okay? It is my understanding that the body of the A4 did not change over this timeframe.

I am also willing to consider other options (Thule, other Yakima options, etc) if anyone has had good experiences with something else.

Any input is appreciated.

Whispbar is the best IMO

As long as you have a b8.5, they will work.

Thule is best and better looking even when im snowboarding (i use about 3 boards every trip due to snow conditions). Their really quiet but when any roof rack hits highway speeds there all roar no matter the design. i love the Snowboard/ski rack option the standard pop up to pull and pop for easier loading/unloading. Helps with MPG on high elevations around here its about 6,000 to a 11,000 accent. i live in New Mexico were the snow dont stop dumping till spring.

So you got the roof racks (cross bars) on eBay for $80? Can you link to the seller?

Whispbars with Yakima High Roller bike carriers here. The bars are relatively quiet, but the bike holders do make some noise.
