    Thule. Model number 404 or 444. Clips into the gutter rails, have square bars. 404 suits the Mk3 Golf better, as the 444's bars extend a little too long over the side. I don't know if you can still buy these new from a Thule retailer, but they pop up on eBay and the forums from time to time.
    Past: Mk3 Golf 2L 8V, Audi 8L A3T.
    Present: Mk3 Golf variant.

    Agreed, 404 is the only way to go. They are designed for the MK3 unlike other generic racks.

    also the thule society is an interesting group read about them on wikipedia.
