They have no customer fit notes indicating problems with the bottom hooks, so my contact there recommended use of their Hatch Huggers # SA3035.

However, realistically if the dealership installed this roof rack, they need to be the...

  • The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, (DISCONTINUED) PW1930V, (Now PW10300) that you referenced are the correct size for the 205/55-16 tires on your 2009 VW Jetta.
