will these work on a 2014 polo sedan ?
are those grommets in the front only used on the factory roof racks, or on thules and yakimas as well?
Just wondering mine are the exact same but the rear rack doesn't have the nub that fits inside the hole. I guess so I can adjust it? Is that okay?
Same parts for 08 R32 ?
Would these work for a jetta gli?
Would these fit on a 2013 golf (base model) 4 door?
Will these bars work with a GTI with a sun roof?
These are nice racks but 2 points of caution. The weatherstripping on your door sills will start to tear over time after opening/closing the door because of the metal base on the roof. The metal base on the roof may (will) scratch the paint on your car.
I'm having trouble with the front roof rack. My 2004 vw gti has a liner on the top where the knub is to attach the roof rack but when I remove the liner there is no knub to take out theres just two hex-screws instead idk i bought my car used maybe something was welded onto the car?
I have the OEM Roof Rack, but haven't installed it yet. My question is the part that hooks up to the inside part of the door frame seems to be completely metal. Will this not corrode over time with having metal on metal?
I have not received the special wrench with the bars. Do you know the torque value of the tightening bolts? Thanks
would this fit golf R?
Will the base rack work with Thule accessories (i.e. bike rack, cargo boxes, kayak carriers)?
Any idea if these are the same as the MK6 carrier bars? In other words, will my MK6 bars fit an MK7 if I buy one?
The plastic plugs inserted in the holes in the upper door frames are threaded as are the holes. That's why the end face of each plug (that faces downwards) has a slot for a screwdriver. Flipping them out with force as you are doing just destroys the thread of the plastic plug! RTM.
Would these work on models that have sunroofs? or is there no difference in installation?
