I'm in search for a trunk rack for the Golf MKVI. After searching for a while, I've found lots of recommendations on roof rack. But my wife & I won't be able to put our MTB on the roof so rear mounting rack seems to be the only way to go.
I'm particularly interested in Saris Bones RS due to the fact that I can lock it with the trunk. It seems to put most of the weight on the two top hooks that clip to the top of rear gate, and four rubber legs that push against the gate just below the rear window line. Unfortunately Saris doesn't list it as support model (but they support Audi A3) so I thought about consulting our Golf experts here first.
Should it be any concern? Or will it crush the mini spoiler on the TDI?
BTW, I've just got back from Raleigh-Miami drive with the TDI. Total round trip = 1850 miles with average mileage around 42 MPG. I drove relatively fast, and I didn't follow other car that much so it was fighting with head wind. But it was fun, and much less torture than I thought for that 13 hours drive!!
