Volkswagen roof bars | find the right fit for your vehicle

Fitting Volkswagen roof bars requires the right combination of foot pack, fitting kit and bar for your specific model and roof type.

VW’s range spans the Golf hatchback, Tiguan SUV, Passat Estate, Transporter van and Caddy, each requiring different fixing configurations.

Bare-roof models like the Golf and Polo use a clip-in foot pack system that locates into door frame fixing points. Flush-rail models like the Tiguan Allspace and Passat Variant need a flush rail adapter.

The Transporter and Caddy require dedicated van-specific kits. Getting the right kit matters for both safety and aesthetics. Volkswagen owners typically want a setup that looks factory-fitted.


The quickest way to get the right answer is to use our registration plate lookup above, which pulls your vehicle’s exact specification from DVLA data and shows only the Thule roof bar systems guaranteed to fit your Volkswagen.
