Question for roof transport system owners

I am wondering if anyone can tell me if my Thule Sprint carriers will attach to the Porsche crossbars. This would be on a 997 with factory crossbars.

Whether or not I purchase this car is absolutely dependent upon whether or not I can carry my bicycles in a way that I find suitable.

Thank you for your help.

I use a SportWorks tray on mine - it's a spiritual predecessor to the Thule Sidearm 594XT. I like this tray more than the fork-mount variety because you can put anything up there (like my 29er w/ thru-axle fork) without removing the front wheel.

BTW - if I didn't find the pcar RTS used I'd probably go the Yakima route.

Thank you for the reply, so it appears to me that my Thule carrier that "fits most factory, aero, and round bars" will probably work there.

I use the Porsche factory bars with RockyMount Pitchfork trays. This is a very solid, low profile setup and I'm really happy.

Andy - Is that a Thule wind deflector you have installed? If that eliminates the whistling, I'm "all in".

I'm actually not certain who makes it - I bought my RTS used and the previous owner threw it in. But I definitely recommend getting one. There's almost zero noise from the rack.
