Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a decent quality set of roof bars to fit my 2008 Occy vRS hatchback?

I have two THULE cycle carriers to attach to the car and need some advice.

Also recommendations for a store and approximate expected cost would be great as well.

Thanks in advance.

Sure, any bars but Skoda's own....

see http://briskoda.net/octavia-ii/fitting-roof-bars-hatch-help/146738/ for my sorry tale of woe :(

I got my Thule aero bars from here:

The Roof Box Company: sales and hire of bike racks car rack bike carrier bike rack, Thule roof boxes, Atera, Autoform, Kamei and Karrite roofboxes, roof bars, bike carriers, snow chains and other car and travel accessories

I can't fault either the bars or the supplier.

(I have an estate and they fit perfectly - can't comment about the fitting to a hatch)

Always usd Thule and never had any problems. curently have them on my Estate.

One word of advice, get the aero bars, mine are the square type, brought from my last car and they are damn noisy!!

Currently use the skoda oem bars with a pair of thule 591 prorides on a hatch. No issues.
