Roof bar related request
« on: 04 December 2018, 21:00 »
Evening all
I have  a set of genuine VW roof bars that I bought when I had a 3dr. I now have a 5dr and they appear to be a perfect fit on the car.
The front bar has a small locater lug fitted to the foot but the rears don’t. Reading through the instructions which are universal to both the only difference I can see in the list of parts is a small card which you use to separate the window seal to push the rear foot in. If that’s the only difference I believe P**s is being taken as the 5dr versions are a bit dearer :whistle:
Can anyone tell me if there is any difference between them ?

I have a set of 3 door ones if you want me to take a photo/measure or something? 

The bit of plastic that spreads the window rubber is a joke, I just use a supermarket loyalty card with mine  :wink:

Oh wait, you have a 5 door now.   Well, just see if they fit?  We have Nissan Juke as well with roof bars that look like they are made by the same people, neither front or back set has a locator lug, you can put them where you want.

Ha ha. There are a couple of houses near me who’ve gone all out with their outside Christmas illuminations. One of them had them up and illuminated in all their glory mid week last week while we were still in November! :grin:

Love Christmas as much as the next person, but not in November! Our tree is where it should be at the start of December; still in the ground.

That’s good to know 👍 so according to the prices on the VW Accessories site that bit of card costs £12 😲
