    What aftermarket Roof rack do you use?

    I want to put a roof rack on my B7 Passat sedan but not sure what. What do you guys recommend. I plan to put a fishing rod and also bike.
    Cheers

    I put whispbars on mine as I don't take them off much. They don't make much wind noise and the rubber strip stays in the accessory channel unlike the Thule ones that needs to be removed/cut. That said, Thule are good as you don't need tools to get them on/off so would be good if you weren't going to leave them on. C

    What aftermarket Roof rack do you use?

    Does the whispbar allow your to slide on thule attachments using their square bolt locking system used on the proride and roof boxes ?

    I'm pretty sure it's a universal channel. I have a Thule bike carrier on mine. If it has the same square head bolt then yes.
