I have been looking at getting a set of roof bars for my Octy, for large things and items you dont really want inside the car, mother in law etc. I had a set for my Yeti which were genuine Skoda, but suspect they are made by Thule anyway. Any comments or recommendations gratefully received.

Made by Thule but only for Skoda. They also do their own product which is much easier to get spares for.
