Iv just purchased cross rails and fittings for my MY19, from the Roof Box Company. I went for the Thule items. I only wanted the flat profile bars, so I could mount a steel plate to them for my mag mounts and lights ( I do a bit of motorsport in my spare time) I'll see if I can find the full list of parts in the kit, but the above company has a great website for telling you what you need.

Thanks highbridgeflyer and nebc100! So these mounts effectively replace the rails and bolt directly to the car? I guess that means they're lower profile and it's a nice simple option, I'd have probably gone this route if the car didn't already come with the rails fitted đź‘Ť -

Ah stupid me, I should have paid closer attention to the photo of the manual which shows how they clip onto rails. Thanks for correcting me, this is why I'm here
I'm off to spend some money! -

Width wise… they are tight -

I purchased a Rhino brand rack and I realized the OEM bars were a little too narrow to accommodate. As Wildrnes pointed out, the usable space between the clamps is limited. I found the Thule bars to be a good fit. and as the bars attach to the clamps underneath, they provide a little more usable bar space. Also, they are engineered well, in my opinion. The outer part of the clamps seem universal while the inner metal parts are made to be vehicle specific. They fit very well and I have confidence that they won't come off. I also tried the Rhino brand bars and they were not a good fit; I was not able to secure them to my liking and I returned them.

Yes, Wingbar Evo, they are shaped like airplane wings. I ordered them in black and they come in silver also. They are 5" above the bottom of the roof rail.
My main considerations were available width and bar placement, as I wanted a specific rack. You can look at your roof rails and find the two holes pre-drilled into the inside face of each rail; the OEM bars mount in those holes. It was not a fit for me personally and I didn't want to drill new holes.
