They're made so many different clamps, it's hard to know. Until they make one specifically for Q7 - ltooz_a6_a8 2008-04-24 11:49:49 (61 views)

Oh thats cool to know -- so you bought recently sold as the Specialty Thule 440 kit? - jfischetti 2008-04-23 17:49:02 (90 views)

Mine looks just like the PDF in the link you posted - Maui19 2008-04-24 09:42:03 (57 views)

The 440, by definition, is a specialty kit for Suburus. There are 3 special fit kits for the - mksap11 2008-04-23 19:31:24 (96 views)

Re: The 440 is for subarus -- yea got that but... - jfischetti 2008-04-23 21:05:00 (72 views)

If you live in the states, go to any REI and try to fit one to make sure before you buy anything... - ltooz_a6_a8 2008-04-24 21:08:08 (53 views)

I still don't get why Audi doesn't make decent crossbars, maybe with the chrome finish... - AutoUnionQ7 2008-04-23 10:32:47 (74 views)

I think it must be contractual. Thule OEMs Audi racks, yet their Aero line looks much better - mksap11 2008-04-23 10:35:34 (105 views)

Yea -- that looks like trouble.... - jfischetti 2008-04-23 08:13:22 (108 views)

Darn it... I'll make a G10 block the lower the clamp down .5" and it will be OK... - ltooz_a6_a8 2008-04-23 09:59:33 (85 views)

See those two little holes under the clamp...the UK fit kit has pins that fit into those holes. - Paul3.2A4avant 2008-04-23 08:21:01 (82 views)

oooh, i think you're asking for problems with that inside clamp - Q7_taxi 2008-04-23 06:42:40 (111 views)

2nd. I really think that the OP needs a new fit kit - mksap11 2008-04-23 07:43:29 (88 views)

I think I'm going to return these and wait for the one that's made for the Q7... - ltooz_a6_a8 2008-04-23 07:45:23 (79 views)

i'd personally only put OEMs but that's just me.. they look kind of weird..... - sm181077 2008-04-22 22:07:02 (105 views)
