    Roof Rack Recommendations for LiftBack RS

    Hi Guys

    So I've just picked myself up a 10ft Stand Up Paddle Board and it looks like my only option to transport it around is on the roof of my 2010 Skoda Octavia VRS liftback. I got it back to my place using soft racks but I'm not sure how well I trust them with the paintwork on the roof.

    It now has me considering spending the money on some roof racks. They will be mostly used to transport the SUP, maybe occasionally a surfboard with it and during winter a snowboard/bindings.

    Not knowing anything about roof racks at all does anyone have any recommendations and is it a case of you get what you pay for?

    These are the ones I'm currently looking at.

    Other than looks what are downsides of roof racks? I presume they will cause some wind noise and extra fuel consumption. Do they wear away at the door sills (as that seems to be how they connect) or paintwork? Are they easy enough to install/remove when needed?

    Thanks in advance!
