I may have a solution for you. The Replacement Rubber Strip # TH853354407 is designed to fit into a channel that is 7/16 of an inch wide on the top and 7/8 of an inch wide at the bottom. I have included a diagram that shows these measurements. You can use that to confirm that this will work for you but I have also included a review from someone who has a VW Golf that said this replacement part worked for their VW Branded racks.
"These rubber strips worked just fine on my VW-branded racks for my Golf. I had to use these because I bought the car used with the racks but without the rubber strips. The VW dealer couldnt find a part for them."
If you discover this Replacement Rubber Strip will not work for you, please reach back out and I would be happy to look into this further for you.
