Default Thule 2047

Thule used to make fit kit 225, which was specifically for our cars. It was discontinued a long time ago, as was the OEM rack. According to an older post, you could make it fit if you bought two separate kits, but I wanted to find a better way. And I did - you use the 2047 kit, which is for Volkswagens.



This kit comes with 3 different kinds of foot pads (2 of each). For the rear, I used the ones with the ridge down the middle.




I used the thickest foot pads for the front. If I had something to shim it up even higher, it might have fit better, but I made it work. Peel back the rubber over the door, and you'll see two short studs. I think the OEM rack hooked on to both of them, but here I'm only using one.




The finished result:
