Roof Bars To Fit Vw Oem Roof Rails

[Dannyb6467]

Evening all.
As the title suggests I'm looking for advice on what bars will fit.
Would like an aero type bar.
The van is a 2017 swb Kombi.
Any photos or links would be appreciated.

Thule wing bars. Not cheap but they do the job and have very little (virtually none) wind noise when fitted.
I only use them to carry my Kayak.

Thanks M'lord!
Would you have a part number by any chance?

Normally Lady Mfwic would have these details to hand but we have had some building works carried out recently on the house so things are not in there usual place. I will ask her if she can locate the receipt and hopefully post it for you a bit later.

Lady Mfwic has found the receipts.
Mine are the same Bars and same price but I have the Thule 775 Rapid X Road Railing foot pack @ £99.00 No idea what the difference is between the 2.
Bought from Kayaks & Paddles of Plymouth.

Those roof rails look like mine( came with van)is there any obvious way of knowing if they are weight bearing or just for show?I want to fit roof bars then s.o.t canoes.

According to VWCV, the parts department informed me that the rails/crossbars carry 75kg. So should be no worries for a canoe. Definitely not just aftermarket ‘show bars’. They are handed L & R to help figment, but the offset black inset plastic plugs aren’t, and are a b*gger to remove if you get it wrong! I’ve chucked loads on mine, & I reckon that they’re the best lookers.
