Vehicles with roof railing: Mounting the roof rack
Typical roof racks cannot be attached to the roof railing. Only roof racks which have been approved by
Volkswagen may be used.
Always carefully follow the installation instructions from the roof rack manufacturer.
The attachment holes are on the inside of the roof railing

Only mount the roof rack base carrier at the holes shown in the illustration.
WARNING
Installing or using a base carrier or roof rack improperly can cause the entire system to fly off
the vehicle, causing accidents and injuries.
Always follow the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Use the base carrier and roof rack only if they are undamaged and properly installed.
Mount the roof rack base carrier only at the markings shown in the illustration fig. 107
or fig. 108.

Securing a load on the roof rack

.
Maximum permissible roof load
The maximum permissible roof load for vehicles without a roof railing is 165 lbs. (75 kg) and for
vehicles with a roof railing, 220 lbs. (100 kg). The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack

them if necessary. Never carry a total of more than the maximum permissible roof load.
When using a roof rack with a lower load limit, do not load the rack to the maximum weight mentioned
above. In this case, you may only load the roof rack to the weight limit specified in the system's
installation instructions.
Distributing the load
Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly .
