The only reason I really want the OEM racks is because I was reading some aftermarket ones make it so the sunroof doesn’t open and I don’t really wanna lose that. Do your Thule ones sit too low for the sunroof to open? If I’m getting racks I’m probably leaving them on there 99% of the time.On his car It’s an inno faring on an oem rack, that’s why it needed extra parts.
I have a inno rack on my car with a Thule faring and with that brand miss match it still worked with the Thule brand mounts, it’s the oem rails that like fight with everything aftermarket lol : attachments, farings, THE WIND
My racks are inno brand, my faring is Thule and for me I only selected both brands for looks in reality, lol.The only reason I really want the OEM racks is because I was reading some aftermarket ones make it so the sunroof doesn’t open and I don’t really wanna lose that.

Appreciate the pics. Might look into that combo as well now. Thanks!My racks are inno brand, my faring is Thule and for me I only selected both brands for looks in reality, lol.
My cars a rabbit edition so no sunroof, but yes the inno racks work with sun roof cars it’s when you put attachments on the low racks that start to be an issue.
Some pics of the rack, box, faring combo from a few years back on the car.

The box now lives on my Tiguan… and that one has super low crossrails that the box’s “hooks” do prevent the sun roof from opening, it’s been 2 years though and for me I haven’t missed using it - I know other like to use them though.

This is exciting -- what are you planning on building for the mk8? Buddy of mine bought one and has been tossing around the idea of some mods for a while
I wish I was closer.
