: I just checked the Yakima site, and it's not clear how the rear
: attaches. It fits under the door, whether it has the bolts or
: not. We debated the factory racks or the Yakimas when we bought
: my wife's car, and we decided on the Yakimas because the range
: of accessories was much greater, and the factory racks tend to
: go out of production a model or two down the line. That means at
: this point we couldn't get stuff for the '01 GTI, but I think
: that probably all of the stuff ever made for the Yakima racks is
: still available.

My son's shop, The Trail Shop, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (way up and to the right for you non-canucks) is opening a specialty garage just for rack fitting. Once it's going I'll get the low-down and pass it on. My GTI is a two door, and I don't see how the back rack could be user installed.
