mk3 (J) 5 door roof rack
« on: 13 April 2007, 10:48 »
hello
I've been trying to find a roof rack for my mk3 5 door gti with a sunroof.
I read the other post on here which was similar but there isnt a post with the result.
So .. would these be any good?
If not, does anybody know the thule code?! Halfrauds tell me you cant ge tthem.
Im a surfer and at the moment I am using soft roof rack which straps through the doors, but i dont like it and want a permanent one :)
Thanks loads
laurie

I *think* it's thule number 404 but I might be mistaken. They're special fitments just for the mk3 shape. The eGay ones look ok though....

Whatever you do, do NOT get paddy hopkirk or other makes, get either Thule or VW ones only.
