This was my second set of K-Summits - this is for a 2014 Passat. Unfortunately, after just one use, I found that the webbing used to attach to the wheel mount connector had worn out after riding about 30 miles at less than 30mph. When I called Thule, to my surprise, this product line has been SOLD by KONIG Distribution since September 2015. I called König customer service and even sent pictures of the situation. No answer yet, but given the new owner I would fear changes in the quality of the product - both in the materials used and the manufacturing processes. UPDATE: KONIG's customer service team has responded and agreed to replace the suspected kit. I was also told that KONIG, as the manufacturer of this product, has been collaborating with Thule for a long time. Therefore, no change in product quality is to be expected.
