Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2020 Porsche Macan With a Sunroof  

Expert Reply:

I am partial to the Yakima roof rack. It has extra adjustments that the other rack companies do not have to provide a better fit for your vehicle. This Yakima rack will allow you to open your sunroof provided the roof rack accessories do not interfere with its operation. The rack for your 2020 Porsche Macan will consist of the following:

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2, part # Y00426,
BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4, part # Y28TR,
BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2, part # Y06163,
BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2, part # Y06189, and
Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4), part # Y07204.

This roof rack has a weight limit of 165 lbs. It comes with the JetStream crossbars which are elliptical in shape to help with wind noise and fuel efficiency. These crossbars have a t-channel so they will work with most channel mounted accessories as well as traditional roof rack accessories that clamp the crossbar. I included the Yakima Same Key System Lock Cores so you can secure this rack to your vehicle. If you do get roof rack accessories that require lock cores you can request the same key.

If your rack does have raised rails the same thing applies, some roof rack products may cause interference with your sunroof. However, this roof rack will be a bit different. You will use the same locks, but the crossbars, towers, and fit kits. This rack will consist of the following:

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 50" Long - Qty 2, part # Y00428, Black, part # Y00425,
SightLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 part # Y64AR,
SightClip Fit Kit for Yakima RidgeLine Roof Rack Towers part # Y72CR, and the Yakima Lock Cylinders.

This roof rack has the same weight limit of 165 lbs. I have included product description links video review links, and from Yakima, a picture of a 2020 Porsche Macan with the sunroof open and a Yakima rack installed below.
