Hi Guys

 

Just a quick question. I am on a mission to find some rood racks for my 2010 Octavia vRS and have been offered some genuine skoda ones. My only concern is that they are marked 2004 on -> Will these fit a 2010 or was there any changes to the roof 2004 to 2010. I know the FL was 2009 on but was there a new model 2004-2009 and if so did the roof change? 

 

Thanks

 

On a web site for seiling stuff in norway this guy advertises for roof racks for octavia. Will fit 04-13 he says. Original skoda http://www.finn.no/49351848

Thanks for your help Alsomme but that advert is for roof rails. I am after some roof bars (I notice there is some on that website for £65 equivalent which seems a good price!) 

 

Sorry just realised I have called this topic roofracks which doesnt help. Mod could you update to roof bars?

It's for a sedan?

Yes for a Hatchback. (this would be so easy if they were for an estate as there are hundreds of roof bars out there second hand!)

Ok done a little sleuthing and I think this proves the roof hasn't changed - If someone can confirm my reasoning!?

 

I have been onto roofbox and checked what Thule sets they recommend for 2004 - 2009 and for 2009 - 2013 octavias (they are listed separately) 

 

Both come up with exactly the same sets. Therefore a set of 2004 onwards OEM Skoda Bars should fit correct?

 

I expect they are listed separately because of the facelift, but as far as I'm aware the roof shape didn't change as part of the fl as it was only front-end and rear changes exterior-wise. The thule website lists the same parts for the pre and post-fl cars. I have a set of the thule bars for my pre-fl and am happy with them.

Brill I think I'll take the punt. If they don't fit I can always move them on or bring them to the national meet to see if anyone wants them.

100% confident that the OEM ones ("A/B" part numbered..!) fit both the Pre-FL and FL Octavia Mk2 Hatch The roof is the same size/dimensions...have you seen these buddy:

Thanks to both of you guys for pointing those out.

 

Looking to go second hand to save a few £££ and as they wont be used too often.

 

shhhh lets not go highlighting the ebay ones too much eh    (yes I have seen and watching) might pounce on those like a ebay ninja 

Did you buy the eBay ones...?!?!?!

BARGAIN!! Wish I'd put a bid in now.

I am still smarting about this. Turns out my ninja skills are nothing short of a fat man in a dressing gown. 

 

Kept reminding myself to put a bid on. Went out on a stag do as best man. Forgot until the last few mins then couldn't get a signal to put the bid on. Would have gone up to a decent price too. 

 

So mad with myself. If I was a teenager I would say FML. Someone has got a bargain there. 

Ha oh noooo! I didn't bid on them caus I thought you were getting them and didn't wanna push up price for you! I would've had them as spares or sell on for a bit of cheeky profit! I think he didn't title it very well omitting 'Octavia'. Hhhhmmmm, £16 for roof bars, don't think they'll be many cheaper than that for a while!! Onwards and upwards as they say
