I do have a great roof rack option for the 2019 Volkswagen Golf 5-Door with raised side rails however the Whispbar Brand is no longer in production with Yakima.

I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbars part # Y00425 with the TimberLine Towers part # Y33TR on the 2019 Volkswagen Golf. The JetStream bars are low profile aerodynamic bars much like the Whispbars. The biggest difference is the bar sits atop of the foot instead of through it which makes the rack more versatile when it comes to water sport carriers with load assist that require a few inches of bar overhang. The rubber strips in the T-slot help to cut down on wind noise and there is no need to trim the strips when using T-slot accessories like with other brands.
