    Question for the experts look up under roof edges when door opens

    What are the two little holes above the front doors in the top of the door frame.
    In rears there is also a grommet possibly for an electrical wire along with the two holes

    They look like screw holes but......................................


    First time Ive noticed them, now Im curious

    I always thought it was something to do with aftermarket roof racks.

    Normally a roof rack rests on the roof which takes the weight Wouldnt like to rely on 8 little screws for that

    On my old Passat you took the plastic grommets out and used the hole to locate the roof rack mounts. So I presume they are there for any trim level that might not come with roof bars.

    Maybe but there are only small grommets above the back doors and just two screwholes in the fronts

    Roof bars.
    I have them on my Jetta, only in front doors. My racks have a pin that locates into them, on a Tiguan I suppose they are pointless as you would be using bars on the existing roof rails.
