GENUINE SKODA SUPERB ESTATE ROOF BARS 3T0071151

As anyone one got them fitted and are they ok, wind noise etc. Looked at thrule ones but found these cheaper

Cheers

I've been using these bars for about 2 years now.  They are really quick and easy to take on and off.  I don't notice much wind noise at all (and I have a pano sunroof). 

 

Only problem that you may face is that they are quite deep.  I have some cycle carriers that I have to use the T-Bar fitting with, as the loop fittings don't fit around the bar.  Having said that, my loop fitting for my roof box are just fine on the bars.

 

I wouldn't hesitate on buying these again if I had to.

I can only comment on the rectangular/square Thule bars which do make a little noise (more with a bike rack attached).

I've been using them for 5 years overall for large ladders. They are nice and strong as well as being reasonably easy to fit and remove. Just watch the latch mechanism when fitting/removing as it can sometimes whack your roof when you flip the locking flap upwards. 

 

Not too noisy either.

Hi thanks for the replies

Clarksonline do you use Thule bike racks ??? Just looking and they come with T-bar fittings so just wondering if the T parts will fit in the skoda bars

Thanks again

Nice car dstev

@Snapper1725 I use both the Mont Blanc Barracuda and Thule ProRide 591 with T-bar fittings and both work just fine.

That's good to hear, was looking at the 591

Thanks
