    Attempting to find a rack, or basket that mounts to the roof top. Permanent, not clipped on, etc. I know there is a lot of info around, I would like to find one that has a cutout, removable piece, etc for the sunroof. Thus it’s not blocked when not using the rack. Does any manufacturer make one that might work like this, or otherwise keep the sunroof uncluttered/blocked?

    Thx

    I know you can remove the rail strips on a Prinsu roof rack. Not sure if that’s something you are looking for

    thx, those are good ones.

    Ideally, I would like the have a truck bed rack, and the roof top, be the same height across both the cab and the bed areas. Have a Kayak/Canoe I want to be able to mount.

    You could probably cut off offending parts, plug holes and repaint.

    I find my roof rack has a bit more wind noise than I might enjoy through a sun roof.

    I have an 05 DC and been searching for a rooftop rack/basket and can't find anything that mounts permanently and clean.

    I looked for more than a year, couldn’t find anything. I went with an Inno rack for my ‘02 which attaches and locks in a similar manner to Thule, gripping the weather stripping atop the doors. No crazy wind noise. It’s more awesome than I anticipated.DE756BDB-2198-42AC-8DF0-FC8C23DB7CE5.jpg

    Prinsu rack, just leave front crossbars out for sunroof access. You can get matching rack to go on top of a topper and have a full length as well.

    Thule here. It's similar to @Sunnier setup.

    It comes on and off in 5 min.

    I tried Thule, because I had them on a ‘98 Passat and loved ‘em, but they’re not available for the ‘02. I’m grateful I finally found a solution.

    The Victory 4x4 is a nice roof rack also.
