Crossbars for the second-generation Audi A3 with the internal code 8P, manufactured from 2003 to 2012. The offer includes sets designed directly for a bare roof.
All sets in this category are designed for Audi A3 8P models with a bare roof. Therefore, there are no factory rails on the roof, and the rack feet attach to the door frame lip.
When mounting to the door lip, ensure the contact surfaces are clean. Dust and small debris under the rubber pads can damage the paint under load, so thoroughly wash and dry the door frame and roof edge before installing the rack.
The 8P generation ended in 2012, when it was replaced by a newer model. If your vehicle is from 2012, check the manufacturing date in your vehicle registration document. The newer generation requires different kits, which can be found in the Audi A3 8V category.
Also keep the number of doors in mind, as the three-door and five-door bodies may require different mounting adjustment settings. If you have the five-door version, check out the offer for Audi A3 Sportback.
Crossbars serve as a base for additional equipment, whether you plan to carry a roof box for a winter holiday, bicycle racks, or ski holders. Accessories are mounted either around the bar profile or by sliding them into the top T-slot of the crossbar, so verify the compatibility of the mounting system before purchasing.
Do not forget about the maximum permissible roof load specified in your vehicle manual. This limit includes not only the transported cargo, but also the crossbars themselves and an empty roof box.
