First for a set of crossbars on your 2013 Volkswagen GLI, I recommend going with the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00428 with the BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR, and the BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers # Y06137 & # Y06126.
These crossbars are going to work with your Volkswagen's naked roof, measure 50" long x 2-3/4" wide x 1-1/8" tall, and has a dynamic weight capacity of 165 lbs.
For a roof basket, I recommend going with the popular Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT. This roof basket will easily install onto the crossbars mentioned above, measures 49" long x 40" wide x 6" tall, and has a max weight capacity of 150 lbs which should be plenty for most situations.
