I ordered one with my car, but have not mounted yet. Still need to order the 1Up USA bike mount. What are you going to put on your roof?

Would love to hear feedback on the quality of the rack and bike carriers...

Does any ol' 991 take the rack? Or was there a feature that needed to be ordered so that the car can "receive" it up top.....?

I have both and use extensively. The bike rack I have leaves the front wheel on the bike for easy mounting. The roof rack also carries my large Porsche roof box. It's a sweet set up ,but it will curb your mileage. I go from highway 32 to a solid 28 at 75 mph.

Just carefully lift up the rubber channel between the inner roof panel and the outer roof rim. There you should find two hinged tabs that swing up to accept the roof rack mounting points.

I LOVE MINE! I use the Rocky Mount Fork mount racks. Great price, quality AND many color options. I have used Yakima and Thule stuff. The rocky mounts are just as high quality and a cleaner form factor that suit our cars better.

Joe, do Thule and Yakima attachments work on the OEM 911 crossbars without issue? If I understand correctly, anything with the T slot should work on Porsche bars.. Hoping to get confirmation.

Yes...anything with a t-bar attachment slides into the slots on the bar. Make sure to search for "euro mount" for European OEM roof racks. I cross shopped both Yakima and Thule, but the Rocky Mounts fit my bill much better. Especially with color choices!

Hope this is helpful.

+1000 for rocky mounts... they're great, aerodynamic, well constructed, easy to use, and the color combos make them a stylish accessory

It might be best to get some new ones from Suncoast,

http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU991RTS.html

They are about $100 less than MSRP.
