Roof Box/ Rack pics

[chrisbond69]

anyone got a pic of a mk3 with a roof rack and roof box and close up of how there fitted please i just dont want to shut it in the doors after my respray, any help would be appriciated,

I always thought the Thule 406-1 is made for the Ibiza, and we have a gutter on the roof for it's connections. Can't see that you need to shut anything in the doors - although I don't have one, we use Thule at work for other VAG cars.

 

[chrisbond69]

yeah but not sure if the gutter is secured or not, dont want it to fall off lol

 

[Black Ibiza]

Should be a mounting place on the gutters.. If not your local halfords or do a net search for a fitting guide..

Has anyone got pics

As above, i have the Thule 406-1 for my mk3 Ibiza Cupra.

I have photos, will post them up later tonight mate.

As said above, the feet on the roof bars are made to fit into the guttering slots in the roof track.

It fits securely beleive me; I transport 2 mountain bikes about on the roof bar carrier, never had a problem.

Yeh.

Thule are the dogs danglies of the roof rack world. Whatever you wanna carry on your roof, they manufacture something to do the job.
