Default Roof rack (THULE)

I've still got a roof rack for my original A8 in my dad's shed but haven't tried it out yet on my A8L. I suspect that it will still fit, despite the extra 5" wheelbase length. From what I remember, my roof rack bars (made by THULE) sat snugly in the channels both front and rear.

Your roof rack/bars should really fit in the channels and look to be a few inches out. The rubber feet on the bottom of my roof rack/bars were shaped to fit and worked well. It might be that the 'feet' supplied may be the wrong ones but that's just a guess on my part.
