Crossbars for the five-door Audi A3 Sportback generation 8PA from production years 2004 to 2013. Choosing the right set depends on a single detail, which is the roof type of your car.
The Audi A3 Sportback 8PA was supplied with two roof variants. The car either has flush rails running along the roof with no gap, or the roof is completely bare. We offer precise solutions for both variants, but the feet and fitting kits are not interchangeable between them.
When choosing, just look at the roof from the side. If you cannot slide your hand under the rail and it lies directly against the bodywork, choose sets for flush rails. If there is no protrusion on the roof, choose sets for a bare roof.
This five-door model was produced from 2004 to 2013. If you have a vehicle from the transition period of 2012 and 2013, check your vehicle registration document for the exact body code. During that period, the newer generation A3 Sportback 8VA was arriving, which uses different fitting kits.
Also remember that the classic three-door version of the Audi A3 from these years has a different roof line and different mounts than the five-door Sportback for which the sets in this category are intended.
Crossbars create the base for mounting a roof box, bicycle carriers, or ski holders. Before purchasing, verify the mounting method of your accessories to the bar profile. You must include the cargo, accessories, and the crossbars themselves in the total roof load capacity, while the exact weight limit is stated by the vehicle manufacturer in the user manual.
Each rack manufacturer handles mounting in their own way. Therefore, always verify the exact package contents and installation procedure in the specific product detail.
Choose the set according to what roof your vehicle has. If you are looking for a solution for a different version, go to the parent model A3 Sportback or to the Audi brand section.
