    Dealer told me today that thule makes racks for audi and thule accessories fits on the audi racks. Can anyone confirm ? That was not the case when I had my GTI and VW racks were made by mondial I believe.
    Thanks

    i run a thule, it seem a lot of people like the oem though. do the bars sit higher or lower than thule? id like mine to sit lower so it doesnt look as akward without anything on it.
