Anyone put a roof rack on a 11 Jetta TDI? Any suggestions on Yakima/Thule or VW brand? How much roadnoise and MPG loss do you think this causes? Pictures?

Do the "aftermarket" brands even offer a fitment yet? usually on a new plat form they offer a free rack to the person that allows them to use their car as a guinee pig. I think the thule east coast office is in CT. Look at their site see what they offer.

Personally I enjoy my 400XT. They are only on when lugging my bike or moving furniture, maybe 500 miles a year.

I'm going to put a set of VW racks on but my dealer told me they won't be available until mid May.

I've priced Yakima and for the total system they want $485.00 CDN and they look butt ugly.

Here is my 10'JSW with Yakima. There is not a better roof rack system out there if you want high quality and complete locking system for security.
