The empi one is the way to go.  They are almost an exact copy of the original 
Westy rack and look good.  Shop around though.  that $299 is apparently the 
list price and you can find them cheaper from various empi dealers around.  I 
bought mine from Jack Wenk at Black Gold in Arlington who handles empi stuff.  
A sort of going rate from VW parts dealers who do empi stuff is about $250.  
Think I paid Wenk $235 for mine and he had assembled it.  But that was about 3 
years ago.

What brand of roof rack should I get for the rear of my 23 window? There is a 
46" from Vintage Warehouse for $435 and a 45 1/2" from EMPI for $299 and a set 
of locks for $35.
Is there anywhere else I should look? Wolfgang has them but I really hate 
buying something that expensive without seeing a photo of some kind.
Thanks!
