We have a roof rack option for your 2001 Volkswagen Jetta, however, the Thule Fit Kit, # THKIT3067, will not fit on your vehicle. This roof rack is designed to fit the Jeep Compass.

Instead, you will want to take a look at the Thule Traverse Roof Rack. This roof rack includes two square load bars, # TH712200, Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, # TH480R, and the Fit Kit, # THKIT1051. This roof rack was specifically designed to fit the roof of your vehicle.

I have attached a review video for you to check out.

You may also want to check out the Thule WingBar Roof Rack, which includes the aerodynamic WingBar crossbars, # TH711200 in silver or # TH711220 in black, and Foot Pack, # TH480R. The Fit Kit, # THKIT1051, will work with this roof rack as well. The WingBar roof rack will provide a much quieter ride without compromising strength.
