so i guess noone knows?

Well i called Rack Attack and they came empty handed
Has anyone called Yakima or Thule?

I mean the only hesitation i got from Rack Attack is that its a Pano roof, but technically the panel closer to the doors is metal...so why there is such a dillema?
Plus if i only plan to use it for Snowboard, in my opinion any roof rack would work, as long as it supports itself on those metal rails...

Anyone on this?
Thanks!

I have a Thule Aero roof rack system on my 09. I have carried two bikes and a luggage tub on mine. worked great but my mileage sucked. Thule makes a fit kit just for our vehicles....wouldn't use a trunk or bumper mount ever. I think the roof rack with wind deflector makes it look euro-badass

I have pics on here somewhere, search for them

Last year I visited my local REI and I remember the staff telling me the Thule wouldn't work with the dual-sun roof Maxima, at the time I had my 09 which didn't have the dual-sun roof so it didn't matter to me at the time, although I never purchased it I just used my truck.

Now I have a newer Maxima with the dual-sun roof, I'm fairly certain the Yakima will work however the clips for it make me wonder how scratched up the roof will get.

I've arrived at the decision that a rear trunk mount is the safer way to go, I want to get the Thule 9003 Raceway Platform however I'm not certain it will work with our car.

Thanks for the headsup,
from looking at Yakima legs i can see it deff working.
AS far as scratching the roof, well this can be tackling with either a thin rubber gasket or the thick-type-clear-bra protection film.
Going to stop by Rack attack Friday and see how it all works out.

eesjunin, I know this post is old but I just bought kayaks and a roof rack for the suv. Wanted to get a roof-rack setup for the Max (2010 Premium - with pano roof) as well since we have bikes and a cargo carrier too. So looking on etrailer here: https://www.etrailer.com/question-91312.html I found out that Yakima seems to be the only reputable company with options for a 7th gen Maxima with the pano roof and the weight of items on that rack is limited to 100lbs.

Not so great news for me as I already have Thule aeroblades and footpads that fit a 'Non-pano-roof' Max. Anyways, that's the scoop I have for now.
