Expert Reply:
The Thule Force XT XXL Roof Cargo Box, # TH6359B, would work great on your Jetta once you got the roof rack installed. Rhino Rack offers some quality roof rack options for your Jetta that are reasonably priced. If you wanted a square bar roof rack, you'd need the following parts:
Crossbars, part # RRVA118B-2
Legs, part # RRRLKVA
Vehicle specific clamp kit, part # DK092
This would be our most popular option based on quality and cost. The Aero bar will reduce wind noise and some choose to further reduce it with a fairing like part # RRRF2 although it is not required.
