Does anyone have the OEM roof bars? Also have you experienced any leaking of water from them?

None from mine...
OEM+ 2005 GTI DSG (high factory standard spec and upgraded with S3 alloy hubs, S3 alloy wishbones, Bilstein B8s and VWR springs by my own hands) owned since 2008 and still loving it!

I have just been having a good look at my car and rack, got the old man to have a butchers with me inall. We seem to thing the drivers side door has a slight bend in it, so we found some bits of word and bent it back into shape, by the looks of things it has worked.
Also I have done some research since and it seems the doors are easily bent when lent on or when the wind catches them and the door is let go.

Fingers crossed no more leaking
