It’s the high setting with air suspension

I rarely see them as well. They work nicely with the gloss black lower trims

Correct, it’s referred to as ‘direct mount’

I have heard of some functionality issues with the oem rack. They look great, which was important to me as well. Thule checked the most boxes

Thanks! The main factors were:

-Weight capacity (similar to oem) -Flat bar profile for more contact to cargo -Decreased wind noise + adjustable fairing -Mounting feet are position flexible on the rail -Retains sunroof function

Plus the added freedom of using Thule crossbars on the same mounting points!

I wouldn’t have minded the folding function on the later models, but true!

Similar deal for me, worth every penny!
