Will a Roof Rack from a 2015 Volkswagen Golf Fit a 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit
Question:
Im looking to buy a second-hand roof rack for a good price for my 2008 VW Rabbit. The rack Im looking at is a craigslist ad for a 2015 VW Golf. Would this rack be compatible with my rabbit?

Expert Reply:
The 2008 VW Rabbit and the 2015 VW Golf do not use the same roof rack components so the one you are looking at will not work on your Rabbit. The good news is there are numerous roof racks that will fit your Rabbit. I have included a link to the roof rack main page for you vehicle.
For a roof rack that won't break the bank you can use semi-custom rack # SR1010 if your Rabbit is a 5-door. If you have a 3-door the most economical roof rack is comprised of the following parts:
Feet and bars # RRVA126B-2
Feet # RRRLKVA
Fit kit # DK064
