Yeah it has those surf board style straps. Haven't tried it out yet.
My roof bars are the same as the red golf in my op.
You echo most of my thoughts. The only thing I wondered was whether using the bars would remove any issue of potential water ingress, plus not having straps inside the car for my kids to fuck about with.

@t.o.
From the way it folds up it doesn’t look like it has a self supporting rigid base, so I think the bars wouldn’t work. Unless you perhaps put the bag on the roof between the bars - but I’m not sure that would actually add much stability.
I’ve never seen those before, are they motorway safe? Do they strap in through the doors eg on the polo above if it has no bars? A soft surfboard carrier has made the inside of my car wet on multiple occasions when it rained and leeched through. If you had perpendicular roof rails this would be great, but without roof rails I think the car will get wet inside when it rains?
