SX, Second Sunroof, Cross Bars?

[ccorry21]

Can any SX owners out there speak to whether or not the cross bars themselves obscure the view through the second sunroof?
Not sure if the bars can be easily moved around on the roof rails or not.
Any pictures on how it looks from the interior would be helpful

Second this! Pictures would be great.

That being said, I would not keep them on unless you really plan on using them more than once a month... but that is just me.

What’s your reasoning for that?

What’s your reasoning for that?

The main reason is just cosmetic. Personal preference, I think the SUV looks nicer without any.

The other reason, gas savings. Now, do the bars themselves make that much of a difference, no. With that being said, if you have the bars up and you use them often or enough, you are likely to leave cargo on top longer. I would think getting into the habit of taking them off would be good practice (just a thought).

I tend to agree. When I get my SX I would prefer to keep those cross bars off unless I actually need them (which will be relaitively rare). I just think it looks better without them. There might also be a slight (very slight) difference in gas milage due to the additional drag they would cause. But the main reason I will keep them off is just aesthetics.
