Default A6 Ski/Bike/Case Rack

Anyone actually purchased the Audi ski rack/bike rack? Its clear to me with my growing family that I need to move the skis to the top of the car. Curious if anyone has the one Audi makes or an aftermarket and can compare/contrast between the two. We'll have 4 pairs of skis up there, if that matters.

It kinda looks like the Audi one actually is bolted into the frame versus the clamp style. I like bolts.

The Audi one is also somewhat attractive for use of my TDI goodwill dealer dollars.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

I bought the Audi carrier bars for my '13 A6. They fit nicely and are high quality. I have yet to use them (still in original box). If you are interested let me know. I will send you a PM with specs.

Sure, go ahead and let me know the price too. Just to set your expectation appropriately: you're bidding against TDI goodwill free money!

Here's another option you might consider: Yakima clip on bars.

I put these on my '05 A6 and drove cross country between Silicon Valley and Indiana 3 times with them on and a Yakima bag. 99.8% of the time, I had them hung up on my wall in my garage, but they were easy to clip on the roof when I did want them. I still have them, and I suppose I could get different Q Tower clips for my S6 if needed.

Default Tough to beat free

Cannot compete with free so I wish you luck with the purchase. As they are Audi parts I believe you will not be disappointed.
