roof rack

I’ve bought a 2nd hand rack to carry my kayaks. Are the bolts that come with the T6 suitable for mounting a roof rack with or are they just effectively covers? What thread are they? M6?

I’m in need of a roof rack system to carry 2/3 kids kayaks, I don’t really want to spend to much and I’ve seen a set of bars with cross bars on eBay (new) for £99.99 seems to good to be true!!! Should I buy the eBay ones or stick with VW dealer shop which are probably twice the price?

Hi everyone, I have the factory fitted roof rack prep on my T6 kombi edition. I want to get some good looking crossbars but quite a few I’ve looked at don’t seem to be load tested and are more for aesthetics? Can anyone recommend some bars that look the part and can actually carry...
