Default OEM roof rack manufacturer

Anyone know who manufactures the 2019 Macan OEM roof rack? I have one on order, but also need a set of load stops, which is not an available Porsche accessory. Without load stops, I don't see how it would be possible to safely carry, say, a 2x4 or length of PVC pipe.

Nobody but a German company could make this rack. Wait until you receive it and you will agree. It is the most over engineered accessory rack I have ever seen. I use mine for a ski box.

The OEM racks supplied in Europe are the same as the Thule (Swedish made) racks. As are the roof boxes and bike carriers offered by Porsche Tecquipment.

OK, the rack is indeed Made in Germany, and, yes, it is very well engineered. The Thule 502 Aero load stops fit fine, which surely means that other Thule accessories would fit as well. However, ROLA load stops do not fit.
