Default ED - Roof storage system

I'll be taking ED for a Panamera Turbo on May 30th. There will be 4 of us so traveling with luggage will be an issue. Has anyone rented or purchased a roof storage system for ED?

Thanks

Steve, roof cargo box would improve convenience hugely. Buying probably is not the best option because shipping may be too expensive (but worth looking into). Most places that sell roof boxes also rent them, but it may be a problem if you are dropping off not where you are picking up. Also, if shipping it home is an option, consider getting one that can then be used on Cayenne. I know my Thule can be used on Cayenne and Panamera with minimal extra parts.

You can have PCNA order almost any part or Tequipment item for you so that it is available for pickup/payment (in euros) at time of delivery. Of course that will be more expensive than say what you would pay from Suncoast or something stateside but it is convenient if you really need something OEM for your trip.

You might consider a soft roof cargo bag. These fold up compactly, and if installed carefully pose little risk to paint.

Thanks for the suggestions! We decided in the end that we really need 2 cars for parts of the trip. So no need for the complexities of a roof rack. Although I just got the Tule setup for my Cayenne. Super helpful for weekend ski trip to Tahoe!
