go to your local thule/yakima/other rack company store and they will have a big book with make and models that tell you what racks fit. i believe this is also on most companies websites.

I just installed the rack you need to buy on a 1990 Jetta GL
No idea what it is from Yakima, but with Thule, you need a special rack set that Thule made for the Mk2 cars. They fit into and around the rain gutters on the edges. The bars for them are 44" long, so if you are planning on putting much more than a ski rack, you'll be pressed for space.
The rack itself is 206$ on backcountry.com

If you want a ski rack, you're looking at 300-350 for the whole deal. you're looking around 450-500 if you want a ski rack AND a bike rack.
If you get a bike rack, you will barely be able to fit a 6 ski rack and a ski rack on there, so dont expect more than that unless you go for the 4 ski holder.

that is what i want on mine! 500 is a lot though.. start saving up i guess
if anything. throw down on the actual rack and find cheap used attatchents on craigslist or something.
