Tiguan genuine VW roof bars

[ABT 162TSI MK2 Tiguan]

Just wondering how much the Genuine roof-rack cost?

[Rooboy]

I got mine for $360 (including 10% discount) which was cheaper than the Thule from roof rack superstore.

Mine aren’t Tiguan obviously, and I can’t recall the exact dollar figure - but it too was less than I was quoted for Thule.

Tiguan Adventure comes with genuine roof bars fitted. I took these off as they do whistle in the wind, particularly around 90-100kph.

I already had a set of Thule Wingbar's from my previous car so these are now fitted - and they are silent at all speeds.

(I am looking to sell the set of genuine VW roof bars if anyone is interested - never used).

I got a really good offer from a dealer for under $300 for a genuine set. Is that the best buy for a Tiguan or should I consider another brand? Noise is important to me

I think the genuine set are good if you have a sunroof and want to open it when you have a pod or similar on the roof. If you don't have a sunroof there's a number of other options that don't sit up so high and are more aero design.

This was my concern so I have opted for factory racks. I don’t always want to take them on and off if I know I’m going to need them again in the following week/end - especially during summer.

I ordered roof racks for my Allspace, but the dealer said they are still awaiting VW to "engineer" them?
Sounds like a load of rubbish. Surely they would be the same ones as on a SWB Tigan?

Honestly, if your considering roof bars but haven't purchased yet, look on Gumtree. Bargains galore if you do research and know what to look for. Many sellers dont know what they are selling.

As mentioned above, I picked up these Thule WingBar Silver for $170 - and the seller even helped me fit them.
