Panoramic roof is a large piece of glass on your roof which let sunshine in your car. If your car hasn't got a piece of glass then it is "without panoramic roof" or your car hasn't got a sun roof. In general the roof rails used for the panoramic roof may be taller and the cross bar may be at different place (I guess as I don't have any roof rails). |

Yes you can use any roof bars. The problem happens when someone who does not know you have the lower bars opens the roof and bang goes the glass and runners. Could prove expensive. FL2 Metropolis, Loire Blue, ebony/ivory |

The crossbar isn't installed in the back part of the rails?

Maybe when the sunroof is open it's ok. But when the sunroof is opening this is where the problem is with clearance. When the back edge of the glass raises to open, the back corners of the glass hit the underside of the roof rails on either side of the car as the roof rails are over the glass.
