Question:
Which ski/snowboard carriers will work best with this rack? I would also like something that is easy to install/remove. I dont really like the look of the Rola ski carrier becuase it seems like instalation would be tedious 8 small allen head nuts/bolts.

For your 2012 Volkswagen Jetta, the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack consisting of partS, # TH711400, #TH710501, and # TH145016, is a very nice system. This roof rack can handle many different ski carriers. You can also get the black WingBars using # TH711420.
I like the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier, # TH7326. It can carry 6 skis or 4 boards. It is easy to install with just straps and you can use the locking core to secure it. I've attached a video for you on a Jetta.
