Which roof-bars for my roof rails?
- Thread starter Fugazi

I’m also looking for a set of roof rails. My Caravelle doesn’t have anything and seen info about roof preparation rails. Do I need these?
Reading various posts it appears the VW genuine roof rails are highly recommended so think I’m gonna go down this route.
Cheers

Would you happen to have the part numbers?
@Dantheman6106 I phoned my local TPS with my trade account details and they said there were over 40 versions of the cross bars but I think they were getting mixed up with something else.
@Tym thanks for the response. I saw the VW part code for the roof bars but the last three digits are missing. As far as I’m aware it should be four banks excluding the ZGB. Also couldn’t see the VW part number for the rails themselves, only the OMTEC code that refers to their stock codes not VW part no. but thanks anyway.
Was going to purchase the veedubtransporters set, anyone recommend any others ? Only need to carry surf boards, so no weight loading needed...

Satin Black Aluminium Roof Rail Bars - VW T5 T6 03 SWB LWB - Vanstyle
Or these van style ones? £70 cheaper for the set with rails and cross bars

If its the rails that go from front to back you mean? Then Omtec i think are the ones that VW would sell you. I recently bought a set of these from Van Demon on ebay for £67.49 which i thought was very cheap and when they arrived they were Omtec ones. They are rated at 75kg which is the best you can get without going industrial. Mine are yet to be fitted but have a good read up on fitting them because there are plenty of horror stories about leaking,good luck
Personally will be going for the OEM dealer LWB rails as they are not stupidly expensive and seem pretty strong.
They may well indeed be the Omtec ones that @Martin Gibson has mentioned but I have no way of confirming.
Always had a good experience with the Atera cross bars. They do an aero wing bar which has a slot for T fittings and doesn’t whistle, at least on the car. Not bought one for the van yet. The attachment is also easy, better than Thule IMHO

Agreed, especially about the cross bars which I wouldn’t buy anyway. I need the extra roof clearance below the cross bars for windsurf boards and the between style like OEM ones are no good. I want the verifiable loading strength of the fore and aft rails though so they wins despite the looks.

orite guys whats the best roof bars to go for,to actually use and load some materials on and look cool at the same time for my lwb t6?
yeah read that, is that the best (load rated ones out there) 75kg? just be like ply,plasterboard, ladders!! not all together 
, just cant fit 2.4 in back. be only occasionally when i need to nip out to builders merchants.
i think they look orite, finish the top off
all personal preference, if we were all the same, the world would be a boring place wouldnt it
so is 75kg the max?
