Good day all,
This is my first question.
I have ordered an Edge mid January 07.
It is an AWD, SEL, copper with camel interior.
The options I have choseen are: Trailer Class II, Roof rack, Read DVD.
This car is going to replace our 2001 X5 as the main family car, eventually.
I wanted to have the Vista roof but was told that it is not possible with the Roof rail option.
I need the roof rail so I can put on the Thule bike rack and the Thule cargo 'saussage'.
I was very dissapointed not to be able to have the Vista roof as well. I do not quite understand. From the Edge I have seen, with the Vista roof, there should be enough clearance for the side rail and the Thule cross bar and the open Vista roof. The Roof raises only few inches above the normal roof line.
I would like to know why the Roof Rail cannot be ordered with the Vista Roof. Is there a technical issue with having the Roof rail and the Vista?
Can I add the roof rail from the dealer even with the Vista ordered from the Factory or the Vista mechnism makes it impossible to also have the Roof Rail at the same time?
I do not know where my order is in the production sequence at this time. I will try to see if a VIN has been issued.
How late in the production sequence can I make modifications to my option list i.e. change te Roof rail for the Vista roof for example?
Thanks
Regards,
Marc G
