Hi,
I'm a noobie to the forum and to owning my own Audi. I've only had my 1999 Audi A4 1.9 Avant for 2 weeks...(i'm still smiling every time I get in it ! :D). Planning to sleep in it this weekend, but thats another story for another post!! (any tips/ ideas on blacking out windows??? Thinking about tinting... :p)
Had 2 Audi 80s in the family over the years. One back in the 80's, a big white boxy roomy auto which I remember someone saying had very heavy steering but I thought was great and then another from 1992. A 1.8i I think which I could reach the pedals of and remember nice 'pull' and 'snug' fit around the driver....anyway I digress...
This is my first post and I have had a good look around the forum for an answer.
My car has factory fitted rails and I want to fit roof rails to them. What I need to know is whether ALL genuine Audi or Thule roof bars fit the B5 or are they model specific? I know that the design of the vehicles has changed so the geometry will have too, but looking around eBay etc. folks are suggesting they are compatible...as does this site

For example: Will roof bars from an 2002/03 Audi A4 fir my 1999??
Thats it, thanks in advance and what a great forum!
