Got my hands on a NOS Luggage Carrier as seen in "square 9" below.
Was curious as to how hard these are to find? Seems it would have been a dealership option?
Found it listed in the 1976 Accessories brochure, as well as the 1979 sales brochure.
Thank you for any information you may have :)​

no really...I have one and I don't even plan to use it. Common as dirt...(what are they worth? I seem to be needing money for some reason...)

Really? I think you might have missed a few. Check again in the earlier posts......skip the middle ones.....then check the recent. That rack is as common as school buses on rural streets.

I can see them all over, so common!

Interesting how it doesn't show on any of the 5 "roof rack" threads in this forum.
Common as rain... :screwy:

just funnin ya. no need to roll your eyes there sport. :D lighten up!

You deserve a vortex medal though for using the search [Daniel Tosh]and for that we thank you[/Daniel Tosh] capability this site has.

Because you did search, this leads me to believe in my heart you are smart enough to know that on a 31-37 year old car, an OEM/dealership add-on accessory like a luggage carrier is SUPER RARE!
Call me a purist, but drilling holes into my beloved Butch to strap things to the roof is not my forte. But as in any market, your rack is only as valuable as what a potentially salivating buyer will pay.

good luck! :heart: :) :beer:

:] Don't let the 2010 join date fool you!
I've been on here since ~2007 (Still nothing on some of you folks!)
I also could not drill holes into my Scirocco, but at the same time I'm not really after any $$.
(Though I'm sure some of the Golf owners would love an OEM roof rack)
I think I'll leave it sealed in the box, and let it age some more.
Got to love when the local VW dealership finds neat stuff in their basement!
