Default Weight limits for aftermarket roof rack?

Does anyone know what the weight limit is for a pano roof without factory rails?
Thule rates theirs at 110 lbs and Rhino rates theirs at 175 but has a disclaimer that defers to manufacturers stated limits. Does anyone know what the Porsche official limit is for a pano roof without factory roof rails? I'd like to get 4 bikes and the holders on the rack and my bikes are about 30lbs each and 10 lbs each for each bike rack. 160 lbs total.
Thanks

I'd be VERY careful about that many bike forks or pedal cranks being heaved up over all that glass. I've got the 3-bike Kuat Transfer rack in the rear hitch and it's been bulletproof. No rattling, clunking or other movement. I only need to carry 3 but if you need to carry four I'd look into the Kuat NV-series. Pricey, to be sure, but they're quality-made.

I'm with you on that ... lifting them up there is a pain the **** too. Just trying to figure out a solution when towing a car hauler with the family. Already have a kuat 4 bike trailer hitch rack ... very nice product.
