Question: roof rack
I have the OS with the black rails on the roof. Mitsubishi wants 300 for the cross bars.
I have checked Thule and our cars require the 460R podium foot pack and the aeroblade 47". The audi q5 uses the same.
Will the q5's factory crossbars fit the OS?
I have found a few sets on craigslist for under $100.
Any input?
This is what the stock audi q5's look like.

This is what i currently have.
I just purchased the car this past saturday and they promised me the cross bars.. Then they broke their promise because they did something funky to get me out of my negative equity with my old car and took away my cross bars

I like the color. Sorry to say that the dealer I bought from also didnt live up to some promises on a cargo liner. Instead gave me a used cargo net without hardware. You may be able to find a universal rack mount. Depending on what you carry and how often. Universal mounts sometimes arent the most secure fit. autoanything.com may have a deal and they usual seem to have a coupon to use. check on the website for the exact oem part for one with factory rails then search for that part on ebay. I have the factory mount points, opposite of what you have. I paid 250 shipped for the oem bars from a dealer in floridd using ebay. That was $100 cheaper than the local dealer could get me.

You can try to find the diamter of the oem bars on the outlander sport and the Audi and see how they compare. Might want to check width of the crossbars to make sure as well. Or what I would do is send the person a message and tell them your interested but not sure if they will fit and ask if you can mount them on the*vehicle to test fitment? That will ensure they fit and have all the hardware you need. You can check fitment quality like if it mounts securely and isn't defective.

So you can ask him for those measurements. If its close that would be worth the drive to go try to fit them on your sport. I didnt see right off hand the length of any q9 bars. the foot spacing is the important factor here. You can measure the distance from the outside of each bar on you roof and ask him to measure what the feet are fully extended out from outside to outside.
