Roof Bar positioning...

Post by Paddy2bsure »

On every other car I've owned in recent years, there's generally a clue about where to position a roof rack or roof bars on the rails - my Audi A6 had little dimples on the inside of the rails. On the Passat rails there's nothing. So I got the handbook out, and they say that bars can be positioned anywhere on the rails, with a maximum payload of 100Kg :?

In any case, I put my new Thule bars on tonight - along with my old cycle carriers (3 of them) - and the positioning etc seems fine. I'll take some shots of it in action next week - or you can stand by the side of the M25 or M3 & wave!!! :wink:
