Roof Bars for C7 Saloon

[skibuddy]

After the simplicity of roof rails on an A4 Avant (2005) I am very nervous about fitting roof bars to a new A6 Saloon. Any views on Pro's & Con's of Audi's own versus Thule etc. What are the risks? How to avoid scratching/damaging that lovely new paint work?

I have Thule on my C7 Avant if you want to have a look - I am not that far from you.

Don't buy LaAlpina, I just returned mine. The designer is crap and it broke before I finished fitting it.

I'd be keen to see a picture please. I will be fitting these to mine so that I can start using our Thule bike carriers again.

By the way there is an audi dealer on ebay doing the genuine roof rack for about £170. I would go for this.

Do you have a link for this?

£217 from my local Audi Centre, but they offer to show me how to fit them.

The seller was northhamptonaudi but they are only showing the avant roof rack at present. Sure if you contact them they will have more.

It's actually the Avant bars I would need.

Struggling to find that seller ID though. Do you have a direct link to the ebay listing?

Thanks!

That's the link to the avant roof rails. Can't understand why the avant would cost more as there is less too it!!!
