Accessory catalogue item - not a spare part.  I'll have a poke about.

When I was at Porsche Weissach in the early 1980s and saw some of the
Passat tetra (later syncro) development, I commented on the roof bars
on one of the test cars.  The abrupt German response was: "Sonst
donnert's".

("Otherwise it thunders")

They were originally a sound-deadening device for that long, flat piece
of sheet metal - to stop it bouncing up and down.
