I got mine from Carson at Riverside - best deal I could find on the OEM rack and I love it.

Default I have one - OEM D2 A8 rack for 2 bikes

However, it's missing the rubber feet for 3 of the 4 plastic pieces that sit on the roof.

I was not sucsessful in finding the part. If you are interested, I'll give you the part number, if you source it, I'll sell it to you.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/127123.phtml">Here's pictures of the actual bike rack, in my possion now.</a></li></ul>

Default Re: Roof Rack Question

I have Yakima towers and a bar rack I used to use on our 1990 V8s and/or the 200q20v sedan. Those cars all have arrows in the doorway tops to indicate where the racks should be positioned. I see my S8 has little nicks in the rubber moldings in about the same locations on the top of the door frames. Are those the indicators for mounting racks? I wonder if the Yakimas would mount to the S8.

I stopped using the Yakima racks when I got a small 2-wheel trailer to pull behind either of the 200s. I'm going to put a hitch on the S8 too.
