Will Any Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Parts from a Volkswagen Tiguan Fit a 2015 Audi A3

Question:

Just wondering. I used these on my VW tiguan which had roof rails. Does rhino rack have clamps and pads for these that would fit a 2015 Audi A3 sedan? I would rather not purchase a whole new kit.

You may be able to use some of the old parts from the Rhino-Rack roof rack you had on your Tiguan with your 2015 Audi A3. I can tell you the parts needed for your Audi and you can see if any of the parts you have will work.

The 2015 Audi A3 will use Rhino-Rack custom clamp kit # DK425 (which you would not have since they are vehicle-specific), 2500 series legs # RRRLKVA, and 49 inch long crossbars # RRVA126B-2. Since the Tiguan had side rails then really the only part you could reuse are the crossbars provided they are 49 inches long or longer.
