Roof Rack comparability

Hey Guys, I’m after a set of roof racks for my 04 wagon, run into a few of the brands saying that I won’t be able to use my
Sunroof when I have racks installed :( I’m a pretty keen cyclist so I was hoping to use them on the regular. So hoping to not have to take them off after every use, anyone run into this issue before? Are there certain brands that sit high enough to clear it ?

Rhino low profile racks fit fine, I used mine with ladders etc.
I can’t say I remember opening the roof loaded as it’s quite noisy on the freeway.
I guess just measure the clearance before opening it with a load on the racks.

I would imagine my MY06 wagon is identical.
The cross bar of the front rack is more than 20cm behind the part of the sun roof that lifts, so that's never a problem.
If you have a bike rack that extends forward of the bar, that's when you'll need to check how much clearance you have.
