Jaksc, do you need them for a kombi rack or a beetle?

I have a full length rack that takes 8 cups and i was wondering that question as well. Do they come in black or white?? Let us know how you go mate.

Looks like i will be trying clarke rubber. What is the correct name for these or are they vw roof rack suction cups. Try clarke rubber tomorrow.:thumb

Clarke rubber at erina had nothing and weren't interested in doing anything about it. He told me clarke rubber doesn't stock them. It is for a bug roof rack. What next.

lol sounds like a typical employee that doesnt want to be there, if you have one just take it in and show them, if not measure the diamiter of the part it has to slide on to and ask to see the suction caps, and look for some with that size hole in em.

i deffinatly got mine for there tho 👍 worse comes to worse one of us could get em for ya and you could fix us up 4 it 😉

Try a different clark rubber or another rubber retail outlet. In my experience while one of the blokes at my local clark's was very helpful, the rest had no idea and they charge like wounded bulls.

BTW, at Clarks, don't tell them it's for a VW or anything specific, just go and have a look and tell them you want. If it's specific they always say they haven't got it.

Thank's guy's i will give clarke rubber a go in newcastle as i will be up there during the week. As for the shop assistant i didn't tell him what i wanted it for as i have been down that track before telling people its off a vw and it usually gets you nowhere. (LOL)
