Audi Roof Rails

DD Tuning offers 11 roof rail kits for Audi. Model-specific kits cover the A3 2012–2020 (8V) – raised OmsaLine Solid rails in black or gray and aluminum self-adhesive rails; the Q2 2016– – OmsaLine Solid and integrated OEM-style rails; and the Q5 2017–2025 and Q8 2018– – integrated OEM-style rails in black or gray. Every kit is glued on, so the roof is never drilled. Owners of other Audi models can choose universal aluminum Skyport rails of 122, 131, 152 or 165 cm or compact 85 cm rails, matched to roof length.

Integrated versus raised rails

Raised OmsaLine Solid rails have a gap between the profile and the roof – cross bars clamp around the profile. Integrated OEM-style rails sit flush on the roof like the factory rails on the Q5 and Q8: they follow the original line but need a different type of cross bar that locks into the channel. Many buyers call cross bars “rails” – this page has longitudinal roof rails only; cross bars and roof racks are in separate sections.

Before you order

• If there are no mounting points under the roof trim strips, the kit is glued to the degreased roof with windshield adhesive – that is how it is designed, no drilling.
• A roof box, bike or ski carrier goes on compatible cross bars, not on the rails; the permitted load is the lowest figure quoted for rails, bars and roof.
• Test-fit universal Skyport rails on the roof first: brackets for glued and drilled mounting are included, and the profile must not be bent.
• Match the color to the roof trim: black for black moldings and panoramic roofs, gray for chrome window surrounds.
