Has anyone bought the roof rack kit from the dealer, is it any good? From what I can tell the equivalent Thule roof rack is about the same price with the aero bars like the Skoda kit.

Are there any advantages or disadvantages over either of them?

We've got thee Skoda OEM roof bars for our Fabia3 abd they seem to be identical to the Thule bars. The skoda bars come with a torque allen key so they are mounted at the correct tension.

That was quick work buying an Octavia. Which model did you buy?

2007 Laurin & Klement 2.0FSI DSG, in some strange grey blue colour I cant remember the name of!! Some pics to follow tomorrow after dinner when I have picked it up.
