Roof Racks for Golf MK6

[Mr T.]

Hi all,
do the dealer fitted Roof Racks from Golf5 fit the new 6?
Thanks in advance!

[Rocket]

Not sure Mr T, but if you have racks from the Jetta lying around, I would try those!

Perhaps. VW were trumpeting that the only common body panel between the MV5 amd MK6 is the roof...

Thule specify the same part numbers for both the MK5 http://www.thule.com.au/vehicleguide...odel_id=151948 and MK6 http://www.thule.com.au/vehicleguide...odel_id=151950

So perhaps they are the same.

Thanks Guys, they are not the same, fitted my Jetta on our new Golf 6 and they were loose... so they are for sale now! Bought new ones!

Golf R - Do the Roof Bars come off

I was thinking of getting the Roof bars on my R, but I dont want them on all the time. I dont think it complements the R at all, but they would have a practical use. Does anyone know if they do and how easly come off?

Hey mate,

I've merged your thread into the existing one I can find, because although it's light on info, it's for the MK6 and the Golf R is no different in this respect.

I think you'll need to expand on what you mean by "roof bars". There is no roof bars standard, or as a factory option.
I assume that there are Volkswagen Accessories, and maybe even different dealers have roof bar accessories which are not the official VAG ones. There are also obviously numerous aftermarket companies, such as the ones mentioned above.

Hey. I was looking at the ones on the VW website Golf Accessories < Accessories < Volkswagen Shop < Volkswagen Australia

[Corey_R]

Then yes. They are removable.
They look very similar to the Thule system (if not identical and VW badged). So you may wish to compare prices between your dealer and a Thule dealer.

i can confirm the VW Roof Racks are definitely a Thule System with a VW badge. Dealer confirmed this with me.

I think I can get them through work, I just need to find the paperwork from my set. Prorack Whispbars.. Quiet as and striong enough to deform my roof when someone tried to nick them! $#@$%!!!
