Great video. I bought roof bars for my Panamera and the owners manual had scarce directions in it. It wasn’t until I broadened my KZbin search by deleting Panamera that I found your video. Showing the removal of the hole plugs was my “aha” moment. Easy peasy to install. Glad I didn’t get an aftermarket set of bars. Very well made and perfect alignment. Thanks much.

That's great! Thanks a lot for the comment! I'm glad it helped. Surprisingly, I think this is my most commented on video! 😆

Thanks!

Welcome!

Thank you!

Hello where can I buy this rack , will it fit my 2016 cayenne ?

[@ToddBickling]

It only fits Cayenne Coupes. I still have my rack if you would like to purchase it from me? Otherwise you can purchase them from your local Porsche Dealership.

[@graphenemusic5922]

Does this product fit the normal cayenne?! Not the coup?! Please and thank you

[@ToddBickling]

I'm pretty sure the regular Cayenne has different roof rack. The regular Cayenne has roof rails on either side of the car that the crossbars attach to.

[@graphenemusic5922]

@@ToddBickling mine does not have roof rails! I found a thule option for mine, but I would love the OEM ones

[@AndrewKwa]

Thanks for the video! are the racks level with one another? seems like the rear rack may be lower than the front, ie, if you put a roof top box or a bike carrier, is it level with the ground, or does cargo tilt upwards.

[@ToddBickling]

Hey Andrew, The racks are level...check out this video with a roof top cargo box on the Cayenne. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnXRpIp3jqx5gJo

Did you notice any wind noise through the doors with the add on?

[@ToddBickling]

Hey! Thanks for the comment...I don't notice any wind noise through the doors. However the racks themselves make noticeable wind noise. Hope that helps

[@ShengzheXu-bz5sd]

Will the clasp on edge hurt the paint? Because I'm using a sucker roof rack right now.

[@ToddBickling]

when I took it off there were some marks on the paint but a little scratch remover and polish took care of it.

[@ShengzheXu-bz5sd]

@@ToddBickling Thank you so much for your reply. It sounds great to me. I may try to put a rubber pad in the middle. Is that have enough space? Because I got red color paint real EZ to get scratch.

[@KeithBickford]

Thanks for sharing. Are the cross bars parallel with each other?

[@ToddBickling]

yes they are...It's hard to tell because of the sloping roof line. But check out this video and you'll see they are parallel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnXRpIp3jqx5gJosi=RblaF6U305rBhDkB BTW, I sold the Porsche and still have the crossbars...they are for sale.

[@milovan8565]

The small roof holes mated to the little posts in the gripping hinges ensures perfect alignment.

[@eaglebirdie123]

Where did you brought the rack? How much it cost? I have the same Porsche Cayenne turbo

[@ToddBickling]

Sorry for the delay is responding, I just saw the question. I got the racks straight from the Porsche Dealer. I believe they were like $700...but I could be mistaken...call your local Porsche dealer to find out. Again, sorry for the delay.

[@jimghahremani6768]

Do you have the part number?

[@ToddBickling]

I don't. sorry

[@eaglebirdie123]

Where did you bought this rack?

[@ToddBickling]

Bought it straight from Porsche

[@jimghahremani6768]

@@ToddBickling would that roofer work with second GEN Porsche Turbo? I don’t mind drilling the holes for the pegs

@@ToddBickling what year is your Cayenne?

[@nikokatsantonis1664]

What are you wheel spec?

[@ToddBickling]

They are 21" O.Z. Superturismo's with Continental Pro-contact all-seasons. The OEM rims are 23" rims and only take either summer or winter tires. No All-season option.

[@jondemidio]

Look amazing, curious if you could tell us the width/side wall specs too.

[@lingt3157]

Did you have the key come with you in the package? My package does not have the key.

[@ToddBickling]

Yes the keys came in a little pocket inside the case. As well as a little black plastic tool to remove the plugs in the door frame.

[@lingt3157]

@@ToddBicklingThank you. I found the key, it was in a hidden place inside the bag😂😂

[@jme2listen]

Too easy

[@ToddBickling]

I probably made it harder than it should have been...but you're right...it was pretty easy...and I did it without looking at any instructions...I just have to keep reminding myself that Germans make everything with a purpose. As long as I remind myself of that...everything makes sense! ;)
