Roof Cargo Boxes

I'm looking to get a cargo box for the winter to lug ~6skis on top of my Cayenne. Curious if anyone has had experience with a Thule Motion XT Alpine (91.5" Long). Is that too long of a box for the Cayenne?

Also, for carrying heavy loads of skis in a ski box, what are the best bars to install onto the roof rails? Would the stock Porsche branded ones be ok?

Interested in hearing if anyone else has a similar setup,

I have the Porsche cross bars for my '21 and use them with a Yakima Rocketbox. I'm not sure of the length of my Yakima as I have it stored at my other house. It does work fine and is extremely stable. As I think about it, it's longer than I am tall and I'm 6'2". If I had to guess, it's close to 91" based on how much taller it is.

Look into Skiguard. Boxes are built like tanks, very slick low profile and will fit a lot of skis. I originally go it for an E63 wagon and will put it on the incoming GTS.

Thanks for sharing, doesn't look too out of place.
