The original roof rack on the AudiQ5 can hold up to 165 pounds when distributed evenly. Upgraded options are available that can support up to 325 pounds in the same even distribution, but they are expensive and may not be worth it. The OEM rack includes a 47-inch load bar with 1-3/4 inch end caps on each side. The distance between the front and back rails can be adjusted, with a maximum spread of 27.5 inches. While 165 pounds might seem low, it is actually a generous weight limit for a roof rack. It's important to secure your load properly to avoid it becoming a dangerous projectile, especially at high speeds. Always follow the weight limit guidelines and secure your items correctly.
