    Roof Racks - Wagon with rails

    Has anyone put after market roof racks on their wagon's? If so, what brand and are you happy with them?

    I was looking at the Thule Aero bars, but they are too high and look ugly. So I am now looking at getting Rhino racks as the staff at the roof racks galore in BNE recommended them.

    Essentially asthetics are important to me and curious which racks look the best? My car is Candy white so I think black roof racks will offset the white and look quite good. I have already got the Thule bike carier, so just need to decide on which racks to use.

    I have been using these on the Octavia for a while now, and recommend them.

    Very easy and quick to install, and looks great!

    We wanted roof racks that looked good enough to keep on all the time and went for the Prorack Whispbars, you should check them out.

    The bars are only a few mm above the rails, but there is still enough clearance to mount our Thule luggage box.

    I looked at the Prorack version which did look really nice, however the store said that it is harder to get my bike carrier on and off. So I bought the Rhino racks today and placed them on the rails to see if they suited and i was very happy with the appearance. They are a breeze to put on and off, however I think I will leave them on most of the time. I will however take the Thule bike carrier off when I am not using it.

    I will take a good photo on the weekend and post it up here.
