Aero Bar Roof Rack for 2019 Volkswagen Golf 5-Door with Bare Roof
Question:
5-door 2019 Golf. We need a roof rack. I want the quieter aero kind. But I am not stuck on any one brand. The car's roof is bare, no tracks or rails. What are the reasons to buy one aero rack over another?

Expert Reply:
For your 2019 VW Golf we do have several options in an aero-style roof rack which include products from Rhino-Rack and Yakima. All appear on the linked page.
My top recommendation is the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack. The Vortex system is made of parts # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK390. You can see it installed on a Golf by clicking on the linked video.
The Vortex rack features sleek 49-inch black crossbars that have much more of an OEM appearance than many other aftermarket rack products. This rack will fit better on your Golf and look better too, along with giving you a 165-lb total weight rating. The bars allow you to mount accessory items (like ski or bike carriers) in either of two ways, either by their mounting hardware wrapping around the bars the way most carriers install, or by sliding into the channels on the tops of the bars.
For overall value and features the Rhino-Rack Vortex is my top recommendation. Our customers have also given this rack a very high satisfaction rating and you might care to check out some of their reviews.
