Question:
I just traded in a 2013 Ford edge w/ vista roof for a 2016. New design in roof began in 2015. My existing Thule rack will not fit. Thule says their engineers determined there was no safe method of attaching to the new roof. How has Yakima resolved this?

I checked with Yakima and the Baseline rack part numbers # Y00421, # Y00146, # Y06102, and # Y06139 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for the 2016 Ford Edge with a Panoramic Vista Roof. I attached a couple pictures that I got from their fit guide that shows that the smaller feet fit perfectly on the top of the metal of the roof and that is how they are able to fit the rack.
