Crossbars for the sixth generation Volkswagen Polo designated as AW, production of which started in 2017.
All assemblies in this category are designed for cars that have a bare roof and require mounting under the body door frame.
The Polo AW generation has a roof without external protrusions. The rack feet rest on the roof surface and specially shaped steel clamps are tightened under the upper body frame in the door opening after opening the doors.
When choosing a rack, pay attention to the technical design of the fitting kit. You can find the exact list of individual parts and detailed installation instructions directly in the description and manual of the specific product.
The year 2017 represented a generation change, when the AW model replaced the older 6R variant. For the correct choice, the exact date of vehicle production is decisive, not the date of first registration at the traffic inspectorate.
If you have a car from the transitional period, check the body code in your vehicle registration document. For previous versions, you can find the offer in the categories Polo 6R, older Polo 9N or in the main overview of the entire Polo series.
Steel crossbars with a rectangular cross-section represent a durable solution for transporting a ladder, boards or work material, where accessories are fastened using U-bolts.
Aluminum bars have an aerodynamic profile that reduces air resistance when driving at higher speeds, and they are equipped with an upper T-track for quick insertion of compatible carriers. Before purchase, check what mounting system your roof box or bicycle carrier uses.
The Polo is a compact car with a shorter roof, so when placing a longer roof box, pay attention to its position relative to the tailgate. Shift the box forward on the crossbars so that the luggage compartment door can be fully opened without contact with the rear edge of the box.
Also remember that you must include the weight of the cargo, crossbars, and the accessories themselves in the maximum permitted roof load capacity stated in the vehicle user manual. Choose a crossbar assembly from the offer and check its compatibility in the product detail.
