Question 1

Will it fit a 2013 4 foor hatchback golf r? it's so hard to find stuff for my car, everything is for gtis

Accepted Answer

I have a 2011 Golf TDI 4-door HB. Your Golf R should have the same Mk6 body style. One thing you can double-check is that in your front door frames there are holes for the front crossbar. The front crossbar has locator pins. The rear just clamps. No holes, and it's definitely a No.

Question 2

What is the spread between the bars?

Accepted Answer

I would say roughly 2 to 2.5ft but you can get a rough estimate by looking at the the holes or dimples at the top of the doorwells. The top of the doorwells have black caps where the racks line up with. The rear door has little dimples which is a range of where the back rack can line up with.

Question 3

Does the package include the 4 feet and the 2 cross bars? Which is the manufacturer of this rack: Thule?

Accepted Answer

This is an OEM VW part, not Thule. It includes the two cross bars and mounting equipment (feet). Although it's an easy install, I opted to take it to my local VW dealer and have it installed by them (which they'll only do with authentic VW parts).  The bars have a unique elliptical shape. I needed the bars for my road bike, so I opted for a Yakima fork mount and SKS lock cores.  (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PRV7H2/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AT0R9/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1)One thing I'm still looking for, though, is a good fairing. Let me know if you find one that works well and won't mess up the roof.Good luck!

Question 4

Are there any cargo baskets that fit with this rack?

Accepted Answer

I think most cargo baskets attach to roof racks using "U" bolts (sorry, I don't own a cargo basket but have looked at them online)... the width of this roof rack bar is about 1 1/2"... I've also found you can purchase U-bolts at Home Depot. Not sure of their strength, but you might want to look into it... hope this helps!
