...When the towers are removed and the metal feet are stowed back in the gutter...

You've opened a can o worms. :-) But, thanks for sharing -- I am looking for a quick and easy rack solution.
So, is there a permanent adapter that lives inside the gutter then? Or are those metal stanchions clipped in and out, as you attach or remove the cross bars?
I was happy not to have a rattling sunroof in this car - would I now have rattling roof transport attachments inside the gutter?
[Edit: Are these connection points retro-fitted? Or factory fitted?]
They are already factory fitted in your 911. If you are curious, you can peel back the weather stripping and see. Check your users manual for instructions. You won't have the special Roof Transport tool that comes with the system, but somethin like a plastic fork should work.

Can't get any and quicker or easier imho! The metal stanchions live in the roof of most 911 coupes (not sure about GT series cars).

True, which is why I also have a Pinarello F10 and a couple custom Seven's

Lol. This is the car with the racks off. To change over I just swap fobs, takes about 5s but the price tag is a litle higher than the other options out there for racks.
