Will the mk 6 roof bars fit??

Hello GolfTi

I have been looking into this as well. I have the thule setup on my mk6 which uses Thule 754 Foot Pack and Fitting Kit 1323. on the Thule web site it only lists the 5 door mk7 and uses the same foot pack but a different fitting kit Thule 754 Foot Pack, Fitting Kit 1710. bars also remain the same.

as thule only list the 5 door mk7 indicates to me that the 3 door is different and may require a different fitting kit again. I will investigate further when my mk7  finally turns up.

at the end of the day at worst its going to cost about £35 to change the fitting kit.

however if your using vw bars given the info above this could mean a complete change. as i don't think they a modular like the thule setup.

what bars do you have?

The VW roof bars mk 5/6 don't fit the mk7.

I tried today.

Hoping my Thule MK6 5 Door ones fit the MK6 5 Door GTD

My concern was because the bars are fixed length on mine - if the new one is a bit wider - EEK!  :sad:
