I have had two sets of Thule bars and found them to be excellent - they aren't the cheapest on the market but are worth the extra IMO. Going by the numbers I see on britain's roads many others agree.

Mike A properly fitted Thule rack should have none of the problems described by the TT owner. Thule is extremely careful about their fit kits. Bear in mind that the TT has a very short roof line and it is highly curved. Neither characteristic is good for fitting a rack. Your A4 should have no problems at all. On my Jetta (06) there is no problem whatsoever with leakage around the feet clips. There is wind noise, I'm not sure if the Yakima is any better in that respect. Your A4 probably even has Thule specific marks inside the doors marking where the rack should be mounted, my Jetta has those and if I remember most of the cars from the VW/Audi family has them. The Thule "Fit Kit" is made specifically for your model car and comes with detailed mounting instructions. When I was a retail sporting goods dealer I sold literally thousands of Thule racks. Customer satisfaction was 100%. (And no, I no longer sell them and I'm in no way connected with Thule.)

I think that i'll go for the Thule this group & the fixya site, helped me make up my mind. I wondered around fixya, i really recommend it, there car section is quite new, but seems very helpful. What do you think of it? Thanks again, Jhon.
