Roof carrier
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Attaching the mounts and load carrier system
⇒ Loading the load carrier system
The roof of the vehicle has been designed for optimum aerodynamic effect. It is therefore no longer
possible to attach conventional roof carrier systems to a rain channel on the roof.
As the rain channels have been integrated into the roof for better aerodynamics, only mounts or
roof carriers approved by Volkswagen can be used.
When should the roof carrier be removed?

Fig. 78 Attachment points for the mounts on 2-door vehicles (both sidesyf
Fig. 79 Attachment points for the mounts on 4-door vehicles (both sidesyf
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Mounts serve as a basis for special load carrier systems. Special load carriers must then be added
to transport luggage, bicycles, skis, surfboards or boats safely. Suitable accessories are available
from your Volkswagen dealership.
Mounts and load carriers must always be attached correctly. You must observe the fitting
instructions that were delivered with the roof carrier system.
Attaching the mounts and load carrier system
2-door vehicles: the holes or markings for the front mount securing points are located on the
underside of the roof side members ⇒ Fig. 78A (left-hand magnificationyf7KHKROHVRUPDUNLQJVIRU
the securing points are only visible when the door is open. The markings for attaching at the rear
are at the top on the side windows ⇒ Fig. 78 (right magnificationyf.
4-door vehicles: the holes or markings for the mount securing points are located on the underside
of the roof side member and are visible only when the doors are open ⇒ Fig. 79.
The roof carrier must only be attached at the markings shown in the illustration ⇒.
After fitting the mounts properly as per the instructions provided, attach the load carrier to the
mount.
Read and note the fitting instructions for the mounts and the load carrier system provided
and always carry the instructions in the vehicle.
Loading the load carrier system
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Loads can only be attached securely when the roof carrier system is fitted correctly ⇒.
Maximum permissible roof load
The maximum permitted roof load is 50 kg. The roof load limit refers to the combined weight of the
load carrier, the mounts and the load carried on the roof ⇒.
Incorrectly attaching and using the mounts and load carrier could cause the whole system to
fall off the roof. This could cause accidents and injuries.
