There is a fit kit for your 2006 Volkswagen GTI so you can install a Thule roof rack, but the Traverse foot is the older version and Thule no longer has a fit kit that works with it. You might be able to find the older kit 1323 that works with the Traverse feet at a used parts shop but it might be a little difficult to find since this has been discontinued for a while so I recommend getting a whole new Thule roof rack:

53" WingBar Evo Crossbars - # TH711420
Evo Clamp Feet - # TH710501
Fit Kit - # TH145009

This gives you a roof rack with the newer crossbars, feet, and fit kit that Thule is now using.
