Hi all, 

 

has anyone found a good value set of roof bars that will fit the Fabia Estate Mk3? The Skoda ones are £150 or so which seems a bit rich to me. 

 

I found these but am unsure that they will fit the new Fabia estate as it is a little wider than the Mk2.

Has anyone bought some that fit and work well?

 

thanks

Those look identical to the Lidl ones.

Which is what I use. Certainly fits OK on the Fabia - just as they did on my old Passat.

Sure, the Fabia rails are a bit thicker - but only by a smidge or two,  than the old standard VW ones.

I've got the same ones on my estate, you need the 1.2m length ones, you can get them for £30 or so on EBay so keep looking.

I got mine from Tesco Direct, I had a £20 gift card from work and with my staff discount I paid £16. They're easy to fit and I've got two bike racks attached to them as well.

Excellent, thanks for the replies. I will try and get them a bit cheaper on E-bay.

 

cheers

If your going to buy a generic set of roof bars measure the distance between the rails at the widest point as they do not run truly parallel. The first set of Thurl bars I purchased second hand on Ebay were too short at the back of the car and just right on the front. :/
