Does anyone happen to know where I can get one that is quick and easy to fit and will not cost the earth - unlike the VW one at £275!

Thanks

I use a Halfrauds one. It clops over the hatch and then sits just below the wiper / resting on the bumper. The lower anchors go under the car and secure on the towing eyes.

I think mine was £50 about 10 years ago and has been used on all my cars since purchase.

Thanks - did their vehicle check though and it seems as if there are no bikes racks compatible with the Mk5 golf, which I just can't believe, one of 'em has got to fit surely?

Just great - give them a call, I'm sure they'd get one down to you pretty quick.

PS Do you have a roof spoiler - this seems to be a bit of a headache for VW and reatilers.

Just seen this post, I asked the same question on GG, for my A4:
