Hi everyone! I am eagerly awaiting my Toyota Corolla Cross XLE to arrive at the dealership, but while I’m waiting I’m trying it make a decision on something and I’m hoping that maybe I can get some feedback. I’m trying to decide whether to have the crossbars added to the top. I don’t think I’ll need them per se, but I think they would be nice to have and I think they could potentially add a little something visually to the vehicle itself.

Does anyone here have a Cross with both a moonroof and the crossbars?? From what I can tell in photos and videos, the front crossbar is located over the moonroof, does that bother you? Secondly, if you do have the cross bars and the moonroof open, do the bars make a whistling noise?

THANK YOU for any feedback anyone offers!

Hi Anthonyp08, I have a xle with the moonroof and cross bars. I like how it looks, but won't really use them anytime. I had no choice because the car came with it as an option and it was the only corolla cross at the dealership that time. Would I have ordered it if given a chance? Nope…at first it bothered me because one bar sits almost in the middle of the moonroof. I got used to it by now. All cars that I had with moonroofs do make a buffeting sound when opened once you get to speed. I’m sure the cross bars would make additional wind buffeting.

Do not get the factory roof bars if you plan on hauling kayaks. They are only rated for 66lbs. Save the $300 and go buy the better ones at Thule

Hello! i have the LE trim with moon roof, i have ordered my roof cross bars since October and only coming end of December. Would you be kind to post a photo of the view from inside the vehicle showing the Moonroof/Crossbar interface view? thank you so much in advance!
