Expert Answers about Volkswagen Tiguan


  • Roof Mounted Cargo Box and Roof Rack Crossbars for 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan
  • Once the Tiguan is equipped with crossbars, the Thule Sidekick Roof-Mounted Cargo Box you referenced, part # TH78GC will fit your 2012 VW Tiguan.

  • You are correct that the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e43ZR is a confirmed fit for your 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan.

  • Will Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Trike Carrier Work With OEM Hitch On 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan
  • There should be a sticker or label or plate on the OEM trailer hitch you have on your 2016 Tiguan. If you cannot find the label you can call the dealership and they would be able to tell you what Class hitch was installed on your vehicle. If you measure the receiver opening on your hitch and it measures 1-1/4 inches it could be a Class l or Class ll. If you have a 2-inch receiver opening then you can be safe in assuming it is a Class ll or Class lll. We have both Class ll and Class lll...

  • Aero-Style Roof Rack for 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan with Moonroof
  • We have lots of choices for a roof rack for your 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan that has a naked roof and moon roof feature and you can see all of them on the linked page. In general people find that the noise created by any roof rack tends to make it a better idea to keep the moon roof closed. Some racks do allow the moon roof to open but the items you might choose to mount to a roof rack, such as a bike or cargo carrier, could interfere with the opening/closing of the moon roof so it really...

  • I do have another flat ball mount for the 1-1/4 inch hitch on a 2010 VW Tiguan. It is the Draw-Tite Class II Ball Mount, # 36051. I went to the warehouse and measured the distance from the weld to the center of the hitch pin hole and it measured 2-3/4 inches.

  • Does Rhino Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack # JA7969 Allow 2019 Tiguan Sunroof to Open
  • I did some checking and the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack # JA7969 which fits your 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan with raised side rails will not allow you to open the sunroof due to the front crossbar. But that said typically the noise created by crossbars is too much for you to want to leave the roof open.

  • Can Any Roof Bike Rack Fit Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars on a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan
  • Which crossbar set-up you need will depend on whether or not your Tiguan already has the side roof rails running front to back along the edges of the roof. If you have this feature, you'd use a rack made up of the following parts: 44 Inch Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA118B-2 Roof Rack Legs, part # RRSX022 If you have a bare roof, I'd recommend a Yakima CoreBar rack, using: Yakima CoreBar Crossbars, part # Y00422 Roof Rack Legs, part # Y28TR Vehicle Specific Clip Kits, part # Y06117...
