Roof bars?

[jago]

Hi everyone, just wondering if there are different part numbers for 3 and 5 door models, or are they the same? Any info will help and part numbers would be great 
Cheers!

The part number on mine is 1K0 071 126. The bars are the same for 3 and 5 door cars.

You talking the original VW bars?

I got some Whispbars from the Roof Box Company that are absolutely amazing. Fitted to the car exactly so they look better than the OEM bars and make pretty much no noise / no whistling - they are different for 3 and 5 doors though...which im sure the OEM ones much be too?

Nope, the part number is the same. In fact I bought mine off someone who owned a 3 door Golf.

What roof boxes do you recommend for the 5 door

I have the Thule Ranger 90. It's great, and really compact when it's folded down into it's bag. Pretty much doubles the load space too!

Thule stuff is brilliant, The Roof Box Company obviously do roofboxes too! The websites pretty confusing sometimes but they're a lot cheaper than Halfrauds etc worth a look!

Just won these, wanted to check with people here that they would infact fit a three door as stated in the ad 

Thanks for all the replies!
