Nils, I'd try to get hold of the wingbar edge if possible.

Some loser reviewed them on Amazon on his RS4....

Well many thanks to that 'loser', great review and much appreciated


I'll look for these in that case!

Actually there is one issue - the box sits so close to the roof on these bars that I can't get my hand to the middle of the roof to clean it! I'm getting around it by undoing the fixings for the box on one side, then raising up that side and sitting it on a couple of rubber wheel blocks between the bars and the box.

If you buy second hand make sure you get all the parts, Thule spares are ridiculous cost. I found this out and ended up with 2nd hand bars that worked out the same price as new ones.

If you want to go the second hand route - I have some footpacks for sale on Gumtree https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-mot ... 1192534655
All you'd need then is some 120cm Aero Bars (Think the model number is 861)

I used these feet on my B5, but with a B8 you need different ones!
