Expert Reply:

From our research, I have found that the Jetta SportWagen does come equipped with front to back side rails, therefore, I have two recommendations for a roof rack system for your vehicle. The first is the Thule SquareBars, part # TH712200, and the second is the Thule WingBars, part # TH711200 in silver or # TH711220 in black.

Both bar styles use the Evo raised rail feet, part # TH710401.

Either rack system will work well on your vehicle, however, the WingBars are designed to provide less wind resistance which in turn gives a quieter ride than most roof racks and does not affect your gas mileage as much.

The rack capacity on both racks is 165 lbs and have lifetime warranties. You will need to check your owners manual for the manufacturers stated capacity of the roof, whichever is lower will be your capacity limit.
