Recommended Roof Rack For 2017 Ford Edge With Panorama Vista Roof

Question:

Yakima has sytems to choose from for the new Ford edge with Vista roof: BaseLine Towers #Y00146, the BaseClips #Y06102 and #Y06139 and for example Black JetStream Aluminium # Y00425. My new Ford Edge Vignale will be carried to me in February 2017. I am living in Germany. In my country is no proper system available. A friend of mine ist living in North Carolina. He could be able to buy me the Yakima system. But I dont know if this system is officially approved in Germany.

The BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4, # Y00146, the BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2, # Y06102, and the Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2, # Y00425, make up the roof rack system I recommend for your 2017 Ford Edge with no existing rails or crossbars.

According to the Ford owners manual for this vehicle, this rack is limited to the factory specs for load capacity of 45 kg or 99.2 lbs.

I've attached the information I have about the Yakima systems including the installation details. I unfortunately can't speak to if the system is approved in Germany.
