How to Fit Universal Roof Bars on a Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Roof rack bars

This video shows how to fit universal roof bars on a Volkswagen Golf. Universal roof bars are used on cars with and without roof rails (fixed bars secured to the roof of the car). Fit the roof bar kit as shown in the video, calibrating the bars according to the width of the car. Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the car's original roof rails. Once the width of the anchoring brackets is adjusted, tighten the pins with the butterfly bolt (if a lock is present) until they are fully secured to the car's roof rails. Finally, apply the safety caps on both sides.
