Tow bar specifications vary between countries so therefore they are usually a dealer fit option.

RE: Roof Rails and Tow Bar

Has anyone seen a picture of roof rails + panoramic roof combo? Is it possible to have both?

RE: Roof Rails and Tow Bar

I you go to the accessory web site details of roof rails and towbars are there. It gives the impression that rails can be fitted to panoramic roof models as roof trim finishers are only required for non panoramic cars

RE: Roof Rails and Tow Bar

does the fixed swan neck interfere with the reverse sensors?

No, the electrics know that when a plug is inserted into the socket that you will have something in the way of the sensors and inhibits them. The fixed swan neck is out of the "field of "vision"" of the sensors.

I also have the roof rails and Pano Roof.
