2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen Easy to Install Roof Rack Recommendation
Question:
2018 VW Golf SportsWagen with factory roof rails. I need a cross bars which are strong and easy to take off and on. I dont want to leave the system on the car, but only when I need it. Are there less expensive non-aero cross bars? How much weight do these Thule systems hold? Thanks

Expert Reply:
I recommend using the WingBar Evo system for your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen since it's really easy to install/remove, is built with great quality, and it looks really sleek so it'll match with your vehicle well. Here are the parts you need:
47" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711220 or Silver # TH711200
Evo Raised Rail Feet - # TH710401
Lock Cores - # TH450400 (optional)
Instead of having to route the strap around the rails and then tightening them like what we find with the AeroBlade Edge system you will just loosen up the clamps with the WingBar Evo system. Another bonus to the WingBar Evo is more real-estate since the crossbars sit on top of the legs instead of ending inside the legs.
