Roof bars problem

Hi

I am using VW roof bars on my Scirocco. When I travel the black clips on the side of the bars always seem to flip up and stick out which is really annoying! Does anyone else have the same problem and have they ideas how to fix it.

Thanks :)

Alloy Wheel Repair Kit?

Can anyone recommend a good alloy wheel repair kit or should I get them done at the garage? It is for a couple of very minor scuffs on the rim of the wheels courtesy of a badly designed multi-storey car park - nothing to do with my driving :)

Re: Will Thule 591 Proride Bike Carriers fit on VW Roof Bars

Thanks that does sound very similar. If I post a pic of the bolt and the measurements would it be possible for you to do me a favour and check if it's the same size as yours? ;)

Will Thule 591 Proride Bike Carriers fit on VW Roof Bars

I have a pair of Thule 591 Proride Bike Carriers and was wondering if they will fit (clamp) onto VW roof bars? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks ;)

Re: Saris Bones Bike Rack

Impressive, I tried one recently at the bike shop and didn't think to put the feet on top of the spoiler so I might give it another try.
What are the bottom straps attached to? Shouldn't they be attached to the bottom of the boot?

Surf Board - HandiRack

Has anyone ever used one these before or anything similar for carrying surfboards? I wondered if they would work as the windows are frameless and because it's only a 2 door. Thanks for any help. (I'm determined not to fit roof bars!) http://www.handiworld.co.uk/content.asp?intID=27" onclick=&qu...

Bike Carrier

I know this has been covered previously, but does anyone have any recommendations and photos of the bike carrier they are using? I was thinking of the Saris Bones but worried it might crack the spoiler.
I want to transport 2 mountain bikes and really don't want to put roof bars on. :)
