Just giving a quick review on a set of ebay cross bars for a MK7 GSW. Bought this off of ebay to give it a shot. Its actually really nice quality. I had to trim the front bar about 1/8th inch but it took like 5 minutes so I'm not complaining. It locks in nicely and doesnt beat anything up. Keys all work nicely and it comes with the allen T handle for removal.


Important detail... The sunroof opens and closes with no issues

75kg (165lb.) capacity - that looks pretty good.

I've bought these rather generic cheapies (one-third the price) from Amzn. You say yours is "actually really nice quality"...while these....well, you might get what you pay for.

Like, mine certainly do the job, have 150lb. carrying capacity, and while they'll carry a pile of 2x4s back from the lumber yard, they don't look nearly as bespoke as yours. And I'd probably be checking them frequently if I were to put a roof box on there and hit the freeway at 120km/h for a day(s) long trip.
