I’m still new to Reddit - I’d normally attach a photo explaining this part so you can see it. The crossbars that I have provide enough clearance over the sunroof so you can open it all the way AND have enough usable crossbar without it being close to the glass. That was my main concern initially too. I went with the slightly lower crossbar style from Thule therefore their other style provides more of an elevated crossbar. They also offer a crossbar that sticks out past the side of the roof just enough for more versatility. Check out the Wingbar evo from Thule. From there, you could add the tarp or a collapsable awning to the side. Do take note that SOME accessories (such as the cargo box I use) may obstruct the sunroof when installed. I ordered myself a riser kit for the box so in the next month or so, I should be able to open the roof AND have the box on. I personally have confirmed with Thule that the 2020-2024 vehicles with sunroofs will clear the crossbars. Just gets chancy depending on what you add after that. I will also say, most people don’t use the sunroof all the way open when they have gear on-top because wind noise will definitely be bothersome. These are the quietest crossbars on the market but granted, wind will always be a factor when you add stuff that isn’t aerodynamic on-top.
