We carry a large selection of wind fairings that could fit your 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI. Your best option would be to measure the width of your OEM crossbars to help find the correct length of fairing that you will need.

Once you have your length, review the fairings at the attached link. As for a recommendation on a brand, I like the Inno Fairing for Roof Racks, like # INA262. These fairing use an universal mount to install on to your crossbar. The design of the mount also allows the Inno fairings to fit almost every type of crossbar on the market today. So, fitting your 2015 VW Golf will not be an issue.
