Roof Bars

[Tom1984]

Hi all,

 

To start with my car is a 2008 Pre face life skoda octavia VRs hatch.

 

The time has come where I will be needing some roof bars :-(

 

My question on you amazing people is this,

 

Which ones do people recommend?

 

I am wanting ones that don't whistle when I have nothing strapped to them because once they are on then they will not be coming off.

 

I have looked at the whisper bars but unsure.

 

Also are there universal bars for our cars and you just need to buy the brackets???

 

 

Many thanks

 

Tom.

I've got Atera bars for the Passat and Octavia. 

 

They are excellent quality (They make OEM bars for Merc, VAG and BMW) and once built up you can fit and remove them in a couple of minutes by yourself.

They are not as quiet as the Whisper bars, you do get some wind noise at 60mph+ but not an unpleasant whistle.
