Hi Guys

 

I have just purchased some genuine roof bars for my mk3 octavia hatch, they were listed as fitting all mk3 octavia hatchs but they dont seem to fit at all.

 

They are mega tight and wont hook around the contour of the roof

 

I have attached a image of the feet, now i feel because it has a picture of a fabia on them then they may indeed be for a fabia.

 

Does anyone have a genuine set of roof bars to see what theirs look like, i cant seem to find a part number on the feet only on the cover which appears to cross reference to most of the rails for different skoda models

 

any help woul be very much appreciated 

 

thanks

Rob

 

Mmm. Seems suspiciously like they are not right. If there is not enough width in the bar to go accross the roofline on a mk3 hatch then you can't fix that!! 

I rented a set from my local Skoda dealer last summer and they fitted them so I can't help with the technical bits but I did post some pictures of them fitted in the below thread. Maybe you can see something in the pics to help.

 

 

The Fabia and Octavia do seem to have different product codes.
