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,

    Thanks All,

    Handy information to know.

    I will try again tonight but am not confident. once the pin is in the hole it is physically impossible for it to be flush with the door frame as the width between the pin and the bracket going up is far too wide, and with no other pin holes in the door frame it can only fit in that one spot. Shown in the picture with the blue marking added.

    Perhaps do these cross bars fit different door clamps and someone has changed them? I could shave down the pin and use it like a normal rack which just clips into the door without the pin.

      Hi, found out for sure the seller had these racks on her polo which a 2002 model 9N10G4. Mine is a ABA-9NBUD variant 231.

        Assuming they're both 5-drs, they're the same car besides the different headlights.
