Will Thule WingBar Roof Rack Fit a 2014 Volkswagen GTI with Sunroof
Question:
Hi,Id like to know if this kit would still be compatibly with a GTI 2014 with a sunroof. If yes, Id like to know if the sunroof can still be open with the rack installed on the roof?Thanks

A sunroof would not be a problem for Thule Evo foot pack # TH710501,because the feet rest at the outer edges of the roof. You will also need WingBars # TH711400 and fit kit # TH145009. If you prefer the WingBars in black use # TH711420 instead.
It is not recommended to open the sunroof with a roof rack installed. The bars could be in the way and, even though the AeroBlade bars are quiet it would probably be louder than you'd like if you were able to open the sunroof.
