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.

Maximum payload 75kg. The one height of 1,830mm is for both roof rail installations! Cross Kit LR002417 when fitted 1,852mm Maximum payload 71.8kg So with cross bars 1,852mm height. Only the one dimension for roof cross bars fitted on both roof rail installations! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Photo straight on, hope this helps.
Probably best to make a basic template to represent the roof rack front & lightly stick it on the car with masking tape to see if there is enough clearance. In the image the cross brace is level & shot further back with 300mm so the image is fairly straight on. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
