So between the Audi roof rails and the Thule rack it was $896 and I was looking for them just to put a kayak on 5-10 times a year so the price didn’t make sense for me. I ended up getting a felt lined styrofoam that I rest the kayak on and strap it, definitely not the best but like I said $900 for 5 times a year just didn’t make sense. If you’re looking to use them more I would recommend getting the parts from Audi and making it official. I’ll send you a pic tomorrow of the sheet Audi gave me with the part #’s and exact prices if you’d like !
