Sick of taking my bike apart to get in the boot.

Looking to get it on the roof.

Any suggestions?

I had a 53 reg A3, think I might still have the Thule foot pack in the garage - but not home 'till Thursday night....

....if it's the 3 door, the front bar had a 'pip' which located in a hole at the top of the a pillar/roofline; the rear bar hooked under the rubber seal of the rear window. Not particularly elegant, but it worked.

Old shape or new?

Mines the old shape and the Thule foot packs make my car leak.

Get a towbar fitted.

I have the 8P chassis 2007 5 door.
The Thule foot packs don't leak but you do have to wind them up rather tight.
Also have the towbar as it's easier - FYI, the Golf and Fabia are the same towbar so eBay is your friend ๐Ÿ˜‰
