Crossbars for the third generation Audi A3 designated as 8V, manufactured from 2012 to 2020. The offer is designed for bare roof mounting, so the choice of the set depends on your requirements for the bar profile and the transported load.
This generation of the Audi A3 has a roof without protruding elements. In this case, the rack rests directly on the roof and grips the door frame lip under the seal.
Before attaching the feet, always thoroughly clean the contact points on the bodywork and the rubber pads of the rack from dust and small stones. A clean surface protects the paint from abrasion when loaded.
When choosing, consider how often and over what distances you will be driving with the rack. Wider wing-shaped aluminum profiles offer lower air resistance and maintain lower noise levels during highway driving. Traditional steel bars with a square cross-section represent a simple solution for occasional cargo transport.
The method of attaching bicycle racks, ski holders, or boxes is also important. Some boxes and racks utilize a T-slot in the upper edge of the aluminum bars, while others are mounted using U-bolts that clamp around the bar from below.
Check the vehicle's manufacturing year in your vehicle registration document. The 8V generation came to the market in 2012 and replaced the older model 8P, which had a different door frame shape. If you have a three-door or five-door version, verify the fit kit compatibility directly in the product description.
The assemblies vary in their composition, so please verify the exact package contents directly in the detail of the selected product. If you plan to carry a roof box, remember that the total roof load capacity must also include the crossbars themselves and the empty box. The maximum permissible roof load is specified by the manufacturer in the vehicle manual.
Choose a suitable crossbar model and proceed with your purchase. If you are looking for racks for other model years, check out the entire Audi A3 category or the offer for the Audi brand.
