As long as the inside clamps lowered to the 2 holes, they will be OK. We only need to use this a few times a year any how. They will not be permanently on the car since they create wind noise.
Until REIs in the states sell these special fit kits for Q7, I'm not buying any more stuffs... hehehehhe.

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 (95 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 (104 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)

So the fitkit makes the difference? - jfischetti 2008-04-23 09:30:12 (87 views)

Feet look similar but Q7 inside clamp is different from the 440. See link. - Paul3.2A4avant 2008-04-23 09:44:14 (98 views)

oooh, i think you're asking for problems with that inside clamp - Q7_taxi 2008-04-23 06:42:40 (110 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)

The OE Audi roof bars look silly sitting so high off the roof. Get the Thule aero bars from the UK. - Paul3.2A4avant 2008-04-23 08:23:43 (89 views)
