Volkswagen Headache Racks

Q: What is a headache rack? Why buy one?
A: A headache rack is a rightly named item that mounts in the bed of your truck behind the rear window in order to protect it from being broken by whatever load you are carrying. In theory it is also protecting your head from getting smashed as well. We have seen it countless times at the hardware store. A guy puts a load of pipes or lumber in his truck with one end facing the window. The first time he stabs the brakes the load slides right into the glass causing it to crack. Do not risk an expensive window replacement and an even more costly trip to the hospital, with a headache rack you can consider yourself protected. In addition these racks will give your truck a tough utilitarian look that will set your rig apart from the rest.
