How To Use a Thule Weekender 627 With Factory Crossbars On a VW Golf
Question:
Hello, I have a 2017 VW GTI with OEM roof racks. Is there an adapter kit for the old Thule Weekender that would allow mounting on the GTI? I noted that the Weekender ubolts are not wide enough to clear the OEM roof rack. Thank you

The solution for you to use the Thule Weekender 627 on your 2017 Volkswagen Golf is to obtain the Replacement Quick Mount Hardware Kit part # TH04997. This kit then contains hardware that will be wide enough to attach to the factory VW crossbars. In order to install this kit you will need to modify a few of the mounting holes but there is no way around this and it's simple to do. This is your only option to reuse the Thule Weekender.
