Nice... I use the seasucker bike rack. Works great.

$10,000 US is the cost to replace a variable light roof. I’m sure the glass roof would be closer to $7,000.00 US. You’re taking a gamble.

Do you guys know if it's possible to install the OEM roof rails on the Sport Turismo/Cross Turismo after the fact? My car doesn't have the roof rails and I would love to add them.

Unfortunately no unless you are willing to replace the entire glass roof. As the glass roof on cars that ordered the roof rails from the factory have cutouts in the glass for the roof rails to slide through and Bolt on..
That's the reason why I went with this system.

Bummer! I have the variable light control roof, so not about to replace that to get the rails!

Try the seasucker on the variable light control glass roof. Will work great.

Yes, I might. I was hoping to be able to add the OEM rails not only for the functionality, but also I think they look great.

@Sharksailer I think I spotted you earlier today - I was driving down from Whistler a bit past 1pm. Sharp looking ride. (Mine was the Dirty Cherry (PTS) with the white roofbox.)

What's the approximate weight of you box and load?

The box itself weights 55lbs, can fit 5 to 7 pairs of skis, which may be another 40lbs?. The sea sucker monkey bars I used are rated to carry up to 165lbs. The Porsche dealer recommended this set up so I wasn't to worried about the glass. Worked without issue up to 170km/hr (other than drag, so less range)
