Yakima Roof Rack Review - 2013 Volkswagen Jetta- Video
Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima Roof Rack System on our 2013 Volkswagen Jetta.What we're using here is the Yakima core bar roof rack bars, and these aren't going to have T-tracks, so if you do plan on putting some accessories up here, make sure they are going to be able to wrap around these bars. So let's go ahead and do some measurements.From the start of our roof to the bottom of the bar, it's going to be about 3-5/8". And then from the roof to the top, it's going to be about 4-1/2". We checked and the sunroof will open up, so you don't have to worry about losing functionality on that end. The bars are going to be made of steel and they will have a nice powder-coated finish to them, so it's going to look good and it's not going to rust away over time. more
