Does anyone use any - what types ar you using and are they any good?
I can't for the life of me find any aftermarket racks that mount to the Audi roof rails of the recent models.

If it has rails, then Thule will do a foot pack for them.
Footpack + Aerobars + 591 is the answer.

Few options here:

I've got the Thule, but those Prorack ones look fantastic.

I've had a good look at the Thule foot packs but I just can't see how they will attach to the rails as you can't actually grab around the bar. There is a little lip on the outsides of the rails but most foot packs are for rails you can access the full rail circumference.

I45key - I was just looking on this site. At least in the Altera bars you can see how the feet might attach to the bars.
How do your Thule attach?

Ah yes. I looked into the assembly instructions and can see how it all works now. My local Thule agent can't get the 4007's though. I guess I'll have to Halford.
