I used the double cross on 200TQ with Std roof racks.  This works fine
as long as you position the mounts right at the ends of Audi rails. I 
also added a small rubber wrap to each rail to be extra sure that things
would not shift at speed.  I have tested this arrangement with three
bikes (2 x standard fork mounts, 1 x lockjaw) and two bikes with a 
large Thule 'coffin box' mounted between then. 

Anyone have a need for some Jeep Cheerokee Yakima mounts by chance?

Cheers
