Roof cross bars with panoramic roof.

I've struggled with this issue because I live in a ski town and frequently use roof-mounted ski racks during winter. I investigated the Seasucker ski rack, which just isn't suitable for me for several reasons. I previously owned an Audi Q5, and this was never an issue. I will never open the pano roof during ski season, but why risk accidentally causing major damage to the roof glass? The simple and perfect solution for me is to temporarily kill the sunroof during ski season. In the Spring, I'll remove the crossbars and insert the fuse.
If this solution works for you, here are the steps:
- Locate the fuse panel. The fuse is located in the driver's side foot well above the brake pedal. Here's a YouTube video (NOTE: the actual panel may different for your car):
- The panel diagram is faint and hard for these old eyes to read, so I've provided a photo highlighting the proper fuse. On my 2023 RX350h, it is the second 20 amp fuse just below the empty fuse cradles.

So, there are no other solutions? No aftermarket bars that can be installed?

Did anyone confirm it only kills the sunroof?
