Picture of 1997 VW GTI roof rack and wind fairing using the Thule 444 VW car rack and Thule 871XT rack fairing.
This stylish 1997 VW GTI roof rack and wind fairing customer install is using the Thule 444 VW car rack specialty system mounted to the 1997 Volkswagen GTI car top, while the Thule 871XT rack fairing is connected to the front cross rail on the Thule Racks 444 roof rack. This roofrack includes Thule locks and keys to lock the car rack to the VW GTI roof top. With this multi-purpose base rack system installed it is now possible to attach virtually any gear carrier to the cross rails for transporting all kinds of equipment including surfboard, windsurfer, SUP stand up paddle board, kayaks, canoe, skis and snowboards, bikes, luggage and so forth.

Headed out to Burning Man, this picture shows off a sweet 1985 VW GTI roof rack cargo basket system that includes the Thule 305 Volkswagon car rack and A21030 SportRack basket.
A fantastic choice of components for the ultimate road trip to Burning Man, this 1985 VW GTI car rack basket configuration includes the Thule 305 Volkswagon roof rack (includes a four pack of Thule locks to lock the roof rack to the VW GTI roof top) and the A21030 SportRack roof basket attached to the Thule 305 cross rails. FYI, the 1985 VW GTI has a 3A 2.0L bubble block motor out of an Audi 80. The previous owner ralley crossed this baby!

Great picture of a 2008 VW GTI bike roof rack with Thule 400XT base rack system and Rocky Mounts Pitchfork bike racks.
Here is a good example of how a roof rack system can add some serious style points to an already stylish car. This 2008 VW GTI had nothing on the rooftop before we installed the Thule 400XT roof rack system and then slapped on a couple low profile, red Rocky Mounts Pitchforks. The customer was a bit hesitant to change the look of his ride, but when he took one look at the finished product he was very satisfied.
