In case anybody's interested, I just bought these base carrier bars, and they are super easy to install and un-install by myself. I prefer the clean lines of my car without the rack, so I'm very pleased that I can put them on when I need them and take them off again when I'm done. I put a towel over one of the clamps when moving it to the other side of the car to protect the roof, and that worked well.

@nikelover94 Год назад

when removing them do you need to put the grommets back in?

@debhaskell3875 4 года назад

Thank you. You’re the only one who mentions the wind reduction tabs that go on the bottom of the rack and the rubber gasket for storage. My dealer installed the rubber gaskets and did not install the wind reducers. They don’t even know what they’re doing at VW.

@francescopastino387 4 года назад

Where are the wind reduction tabs applied exactly? On the front or back? On top or bottom? Parallel or perpendicular to the bars? I'm still confused. TIA.

@peterberbee 4 года назад

The plastic plugs that need to be removed in front are threaded. They unscrew with a 2.5 mm hex tool. I think it is easier to unscrew them than to pry them out. Plus they can be reused. Thanks for the rack.

@Tomkoerts85 3 года назад

I'm having trouble with the front roof rack. My 2004 vw gti has a liner on the top where the knub is to attach the roof rack but when I remove the liner there is no knub to take out theres just two hex-screws instead idk i bought my car used maybe something was welded onto the car?

@chhayrithy 2 года назад

I'm reading that the max load of the OEM rails is 110 pounds. Is that correct? With most cargo boxes being 40-50 pounds, that only allows for 50-60 pounds of cargo. Would Thule or Yakima rails be better since they have a higher max limit?

@joshchojnacki8506 8 лет назад

I have the OEM Roof Rack, but haven't installed it yet. My question is the part that hooks up to the inside part of the door frame seems to be completely metal. Will this not corrode over time with having metal on metal?

@rockervdrive 6 лет назад

I just received mine today. The bottom parts that hook onto the inside of the roof frame have a rubberized coating on them. Any part of the rack that clamps down on the car and touches the paint is rubber or has a rubberized coating. Shouldn't have any issues with corrosion.

@Alexandros92 2 года назад

There are cars that have a special "port" on the roof for installing rails, but vw golf does not, and need this type of rails that are attached were the door-rubber closes. My concern is, if you use the rails a lot, is there a possibility for the door rubber to deform overtime and don't provide the same insulation inside the cabin?

@tanerrona7505 2 года назад

i got the same roof bars on my 2002 polo and after some time of use, ı had water leaking on my front doors. These roof bars damaged my doors rubber seals....

@lennyplummer8730 2 года назад

How is it done on a 2 door?

@Gino20202 8 лет назад

These are nice racks but 2 points of caution. The weatherstripping on your door sills will start to tear over time after opening/closing the door because of the metal base on the roof. The metal base on the roof may (will) scratch the paint on your car.

@williamhill6473 Год назад

This is really useful thank you

@110jim 7 месяцев назад

I used these for 3 years across two different cars, taking them on and off almost every single weekend. The weather stripping on my cars never had any damage at all. If you're getting damage, you're doing something wrong.

Question: Will the 4-door version fit the 2-door version? What's the difference between 5G3-071-126 and 5G4-071-126?

@royaldm 5 лет назад

Not sure if you still need the answer or not, but maybe this will help someone else. 5G3-071-126 is for 2 door, and 5G4-071-126 is for the 4 door. I have a 4 door, and the instructions I received show the installation for both vehicle types, with the main difference being that the rear rack mounts differently. I would assume that the rear rack mount for the 2 door is different than the 4 door.

@pedrotigastiti1151 5 лет назад

Mine was leaking when it rains, any fix for that? Thank you in advance

@slabbyrider8665 4 года назад

Basically the golf was not designed to have roof bars fitted and any foot pack will damage the rubber seal. I've just bought Thule roof bars with all the fittings for a golf and it distorts the rubber badly. Thules answer is to include rubber inserts with the kit to aid the seal which is a bodge imo and with prolonged use will leave your car with leaking doors without the strip fitted. The fitting kit for the golf also doesn't follow the contours. I'm glad I got it really dirt cheap used so I can make money by selling it. Gutted really.

@tanerrona7505 2 года назад

@jodimckinnon5738 8 лет назад

+Jodi McKinnon The OEM VW Base bars are actually made by Thule but its tough to say if they work with thule accessories. If you have attachments the use the T groove style attachments they should work but there is no way for us to be certain.
