• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

On the THULE Site the mention that you shouldn't open your sunroof. Does anyone know if this is true....

I have read a lot of posts about AeroBlade bars in the past. Here's one that may be of interest, and there are many others in the thread. If this doesn't help, then hopefully someone else will respond who has installed the system.

I just installed the 7603B (B is the black version) on my 2021 SXL Nightsky (Canada name for SX Prestige Nightfall), and had no issues opening and closing the sunroof. I have yet to put on my Thule XT Motion Cargo box but feel there will probably be enough room with it installed to operate the sunroof properly. Here's a couple of pics of the install, including a close up with the sunroof up. Hope these are helpful.

What size did you get for the front and rears?

I have the Thule Motion XT XL installed and can open sunroof with no issues.

My experience with the bars and box perfectly centred on the Telluride is that I can only open about 25% with the box on due to its clamps reaching below the bars. With just the bars I can get the sunroof open 100%.
