The Rightline GearSport Jr. # RL100S50 you were looking at will do a great job for you since it's small, waterproof and designed for naked roofs like the one on your 2004 Volkswagen Golf. This bag secures to your roof with straps that are run in through the doors, and they provide you with a secure connection to the vehicle.

If you wanted something slightly smaller, the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 8.5 cu ft - 43" x 31-1/2" x 11-1/2" # RRLB250 is also waterproof and connects to the car in a similar way. It's a bit more expensive, but RhinoRack products are extremely durable and the zippers can be locked for added security during your trip.

I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to have a look at, as well.
