I could not locate Thule 480r square bars. The 480r comes back to the Rapid Traverse Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH480R. The Rapid Traverse Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH480R are not a fit for your 2010 Volkswagen GTI 5-door hatchback.

You would need to use the Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501 with the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH145009 which will work if your Thule Square bars are the newer style with the slots on the underside.

If you have the older Thule Square bar style without the slots on the underside then unfortunately Thule no longer offers feet that are compatible with those bars and your best bet would be to replace your bars.
