roof rack ???

[shepwood]

how do the clips for the roof racks attach to the roof? anyone got pictures or something?

Just pull back the weather stripping at the top of the door a bit and you'll see it. It's very clear once it's pulled back.

yeah its like a little claw that grabs onto the weather stripping.

[Pssst...passed you]

No, it clips onto the screw posts in the rain channel

[shepwood]

lol so which one is it? is it possible to make your own?

It's what Psst and I said, peel back the weather stripping and you'll see the two metal posts that are the same color as the car.

And you can make your own, you'd need to make an adjustable arm to latch onto the screw/post. If you look at the posts on the car, you'd get a better understanding of it. VW uses an allan key to adjust the clamps to tighten the roof rack down.

my roofrack is just for snowboards so its definitely different then. listen to them^^

[shepwood]

alright thanks guys, i also wonder if there is anywhere that i could just buy the clips and not the rails for it...i reallly dont need/want the rails and i only need a pair of clips

[_FUBAR_]

you need bars. thats what makes the "rack" . i dont know what you trying to do? im confused.

[shepwood]

i know i need the bar to make a rack lol i got something else planned... so im seeing if i can only get the clips

[Pssst...passed you]

Try Thule directly but no, you can't from Vw for OEM as I tried to replace mine before through them.

[shepwood]

holy expensive!

[shepwood]

ok so i just got 4 Thule mounts for 20$ here they are...





my new question is how do these things mount to my car? lol

[shepwood]
