Roof bars / rack instructions

[coopersim]

I've spent a couple of hours failing to install a genuine set of bars on my 2012 5 door Polo.

Does anyone have a digital copy of the instructions they wouldn't mind sharing please?

Here’s a multi-lingual version of VW’s fitting / installation instructions for the 6r / 6c Polo. The English language sections are on the pages numbered 2, 4, 5, 14, 16, 19, 28 and 30.

And here’s a YouTube video of VW roof bars being fitted to a three door Polo;

Don’t know how useful the video is, as the guy fitting the roof bars doesn’t provide any commentary!

I just wanted to say thank you for a really comprehensive answer. I'm not normally bad when it comes to using Google but my skills today have let me down!

You've really saved me a lot of trouble - thank you.
