Roof rack
Introduction
In this section you'll find information about:
→ Attaching the roof rack base carrier and roof rack
→ Securing a load on the roof rack
The roof of your vehicle has been designed to optimize
aerodynamics and does not have traditional rain gutters that are
used to attach many kinds of roof racks.
Since the rain gutters are molded into the roof to provide efficient
aerodynamics, only Volkswagen-approved base carrier mounts and
roof racks can be used.
When should the roof rack be removed?
When it is no longer needed.
Before driving through an automatic car wash.
When the vehicle would otherwise be too high for minimum
clearance to enter, for example, a garage.
