Recommended Roof Rack for Fiat 500x With Panoramic Glass Sunroof

Question

Question:

I have been checking the recommended rack system, and I have few concerns. Looking at my car roof, I noted that when the sun roof is moving, or is in the open position, the front edge of the glass is wider, then, when it move back, the front corners overlap above the side edge of the roof. May be it is possible to install but the front shoes should be located almost aligned to the front end of glass/sunroof. Attached are some pictures to ilustrate the situation. Let me know your opinion, or if you have evaluated this situation a previous case....

There is a roof rack that will fit your 2016 Fiat 500X that has the panoramic sunroof, the Inno Aero. This rack is made up of Aero Crossbars # INXB100-108, Flush Feet for Aero Crossbars # INXS200, and Custom Fit Kit # INK482. This rack has a 100 lbs weight capacity though I do recommend checking your Fiat's manual to confirm what the actual capacity is. The aero crossbars are going to give you a quiet ride and they also have integrated T-slots so you can carry accessories that way.

I've added links to video reviews of the rack for you to take a look at as well.

Thank you for the photo. There are specific mounting points for the roof rack bars # INXB100-108, feet # INXS200 and fit kit # INK482 as you can see in the accompanying cutout of the directions I've added. Additionaly, you would not want to open your sunroof with his rack on, as doing so would interfere with the rack so you would need to remove the rack if you wanted to also open your sunroof.
