Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

The place I bought the Prorack had Thule, Rola, and Rhino and recommended the Prorack as being the best - even though the price difference was not large.

      I had Rola's on my Subaru and used them *a lot* for kayaks and bikes with no problems. I guess that's different to ladders, but I had more than 40kg on them with no issues.
      Hey mate, do Thule accessories fit on Prorack bars then? I just picked up a set of Prorack bars with a kayak holder, and need something to carry my bikes as well. I think the Thule Sidearm is the only one on the market that will work.

        Yep - they sure do. I have a Thule 561 Outrider on my Prorack bars.

            Close up of the VW bar. I will get a price on them tomorrow. The "strap" is much wider than the Rola.
