Roof rack options for Mk7/7.5 hatch

[veew]

Just wondering what people have installed and their experiences.
If I end up getting a GTI I would like to have roof racks on permanently as I just cannot be bothered taking them on and off, storing them in the meantime etc.
I'll be using it for a pod box that will be placed on the car as required.
Has anyone had their roof racks on long-term? Any scratching of the pain or other concerns?

What are peoples thoughts regarding OEM vs other brands.
