Post by: ajmoir36 on 10 May 2014, 20:59: I have genuine VW roof bars no problems at all with the fitment or scratching. Got mine from eBay for £19.99 Bars , Key and instructions have used them for the bike, two mattresses and a ladder a few times. Also mk5 ones are the same as the mk6 ones if you were interested as mine start out being used for a mk5.

Post by: Starfox on 26 June 2014, 10:27: If anyone is interested in selling a pair of Roof Bars let me know - the only Genuine ones I can see on ebay at the minute are £100+ :sad: How much do these RRP from VW at? Where is the best place to buy them new?

I have only ever used roof bars which click into the proper tracks - struggling to see how the paintwork doesn't get damaged with these style of ones as well!
