Thule Ascent 1600 problem

I mounted a Thule 1600 on my X5 today using the BMW cross members (Part # 82-71-0-404-320). These are a typical BMW product, over enginered and over priced but one great set of bars.
I have a problem, the Thule anchoring system does not close over the bars. (see pictures below) The problem is twofold, the front Thule clamps hit the aero tabs on the bottom of the bars and the back clamps simply won't close around the bar due to its size. Has anyone encountered this before?
Any suggestion?
Jack
