Honestly Id go with the Audi Q7 Genuine OEM Roof Rack Base Carrier Bars for peace of mind. They are designed for those rails and usually give more clearance for the sunroof. The Thule WingBar Edge Crossbar System is much quieter and looks better, but it sits lower which can be risky if you tilt the glass. For a family car, safety and clearance should come first imo.

Safety first, tbh. Yakima JetStream 60 Inch Bars feel super sturdy, but Thule WingBar Evo Load Bars give better sunroof clearance so you dont risk cracking the glass.

Ugh, I am literally in the exact same position right now with my 2023 Q7. I have been losing sleep over this because that panoramic sunroof is basically one giant, expensive sheet of glass and the thought of a rack failing or making contact is terrifying. I spent way too much time researching the physics of wind lift and how much stress these flush rails can actually take during a long haul. I was actually looking into the Inno Aero Base Rack System with Flush Feet as a possibility, but I am still worried about the clearance when the sunroof tilts up. If the bars are too low, one accidental button press and you are looking at a multi-thousand dollar repair bill. Its not just about the weight either, but how the wind creates upward pressure at 75mph... basically if those clamps arent perfect, things get sketchy fast. Glad I found this thread cuz I am totally stuck too.

Yep been there done that. Can confirm everything said above is spot on.

Just catching up here... honestly go with Rhino-Rack. Check the fitment videos on etrailer first to save money and make sure the sunroof clears safely.
