Expert Answers about Volkswagen


  • Is Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier Compatible With Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack
  • Yes, the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # LR54FR is compatible with the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215. You will just need to use the Lockrack's included T-bolt hardware to mount the Lockrack to the Malone crossbars instead of the clamping system, because the Lockrack's clamps aren't quite large enough to fit around the Malone aero crossbars. I have added links below to video reviews for you to check out as well of the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 and Lockrack Adjustable...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring For 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line
  • I recommend Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13133 for your 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line which is a 2" receiver. It does require a fascia cut out for installation. I have attached an installation video and snip from the instructions that show the amount of fascia trimming required for the R-line. If you need wiring, I recommend T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118675. I have attached an installation video for your reference.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2015 VW Beetle Convertible
  • So long as your 2015 Beetle Convertible does not have the diesel engine, or is the R-Line model, you will have no problems mounting the Curt Hitch item # C11354 to your car. This hitch is custom fit and designed specifically for a Beetle. It meets all USA standards for safety. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56380, then for a ball mount you'd need the Draw-Tite Drawbar item # 3593, and finally for hitch balls item # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or item...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Confirmed To Fit a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Sedan
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11474 is our only receiver confirmed to fit on your 2012 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Sedan. This is a class I receiver with a 1-1/4" opening. I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118572 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector for operating the lights on most small trailers. It will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with any hitch mounted accessory which impairs the view of the tail lights on...

  • Availability of 2" Hitch Receiver for a Bike Rack on a 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI
  • Although EcoHitch hasn't confirmed it yet (as of April 2020), you should be able to use the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7375 on your 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI. This has the same installation as the Draw-Tite # 24979 which fits both a 2019 and a 2020 GTI so by the same token the EcoHitch will fit as well. This is the only 2" receiver available for your GTI but it also has the advantage of a removable receiver so that you won't even know it's installed then you aren't using...

  • 2011 Volkswagen CC Low Profile Style Tire Chains
  • To stay legal you will want to get chains. The concern is the limited amount of room in your wheel well but we want you to stay legal. I recommend getting low profile chains like the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1038. These will increase your traction with the lowest profile style chain.

  • Will Curt 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Fit a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line
  • We have had a customer successfully install the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # C13381 on a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line with the only modification being that they had to lower the exhaust a little as the muffler was in contact with the trailer hitch. This isn't too uncommon though and we have a helpful article that I have linked for you to check out that goes over how to accomplish this. Since the Class II 1-1/4 Curt Trailer Hitch # C12177 installs the same way you will be able to install...

  • Minimum Clearance Between Crossbar and Roof to allow Yakima Skybox to Fit
  • The Yakima SkyBox 12 Rooftop Cargo Box - 12 cu ft - Black Carbonite # Y07334 doesn't have a specific minimum clearance below the crossbars because each fit will be slightly different. My contact at Yakima estimates that the very minimum would be 2 inches between the bottom of the bar and the top of the roof, but to be safe you will want to consider 2-1/2 inches as the minimum so you can ensure the fit.

  • Will Thule WingBar Roof Rack Fit a 2014 Volkswagen GTI with Sunroof
  • A sunroof would not be a problem for Thule Evo foot pack # TH710501,because the feet rest at the outer edges of the roof. You will also need WingBars # TH711400 and fit kit # TH145009. If you prefer the WingBars in black use # TH711420 instead. It is not recommended to open the sunroof with a roof rack installed. The bars could be in the way and, even though the AeroBlade bars are quiet it would probably be louder than you'd like if you were able to open the sunroof.

  • Will Install of Hitch on 2023 Volkswagen Jetta Void Warranty
  • Our hitch manufacturers like Curt who makes the # C11540 that fits your 2023 Volkswagen Jetta basically will make a hitch for any vehicle there is a demand for. A lot of people aren't worried about voiding warranties but more importantly you are protected by the Magnuson Moss act. The Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act in short states that manufactures cannot void the entire warranty of a vehicle simply because they installed an aftermarket component.

  • Correct Trailer Hitch Fit for a 1998 Volkswagen New Beetle
  • I'm glad to hear you like the trailer hitch on your 2010 Nissan Maxima! While there are hitch fits for your 1998 Volkswagen New Beetle, these aren't the same as the hitch for your Maxima so you'll need to get a whole new hitch due to the overall design of the hitch and how it fits to the vehicle. For '98 New Beetle I recommend picking up the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11066 which is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver that will fit directly to the holes in the frame of your vehicle. Attached...

  • Correct Konig Tire Chains for 255/40R20 Tires on a 2020 VW Tiguan
  • The correct Konig Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - Self Tensioning for 255/40R20 tires is part # TH01594247. These are excellent tire chain options which have square links that provide traction in both snow/ice, a self-tensioning mechanism to assist with install, and a diamond pattern for a smoother ride. In regards to fit on a 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan, you'll need to reference your owner's manual to make sure you're following any regulations. The chains however are class s...

  • Is Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack # TH65JV Compatible with 2010 VW Passat Wagon
  • Platform-style racks like the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack # TH65JV do offer the advantage of not requiring the user to lift her bikes up quite so high for loading. This excellent carrier will fit on your 2010 Passat Wagon and I confirmed this with my contact at Thule. Thule is very careful with their fit information and they test extensively. If your Passat Wagon's bumper could not handle the load of the rack and the two bikes Thule would have determined this long before now. You can be confident...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C13381 Fit A 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan
  • I would be happy to help! First the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13381 is indeed confirmed to fit your 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan. The reason it was pulled down as a confirmed fit for a bit was due to the 2021 Tiguan requiring mounting hardware where the 2020 and older used factory hardware. Curt realized this issue and is now including the hardware with the # C13381 so it can be installed on your Tiguan. Between the # C13381 and # C12177 you were looking at I recommend the # C13381 as...

  • Sway Control For 2022 VW Atlas That Cant Use Weight Distribution
  • While there isn't a way to completely mimic how a weight distribution hitch works, you can use a friction sway control system for a safer way to tow with your 2022 VW Atlas, and you'll also need a bracket that goes over your ball mount: - Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 - Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts # RP26003 Then to help with any suspension sag, what you can do is add air springs to the coils, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Options for a 2014 Volkswagen Golf
  • The ZCI harness # 119250KIT is one of the wiring harnesses that you can use on the 2014 Volkswagen Golf. It is the only one that does not require splicing into the wiring on the vehicle. The other option, # C59236, requires splicing into the vehicle wiring.

  • 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 etrailer Hitch Pin Be Used in Curt Trailer Hitch C13381
  • The etrailer hitch pin and clip part # e65TR does fit the Curt hitch part # C13381 but it's not the type of hitch pin to use with the Thule Apex XT part # TH9024XT as it does not need a hitch pin. Essentially it uses a wedge on the shank to hold the bike in place to the hitch tube and has an arm that folds into the hitch pin hole.

  • Will the Thule Hullavator Work with the Factory Crossbars of a 2019 Volkswagen Atlas
  • I have a possible solution for you. First, though, the factory crossbars on a 2019 Volkswagen Factory do not extend past the feet. The Hullavator, part # TH898, requires 4" - 8" extension past the feet, so you won't be able to use this. Instead, you'll have to use a kayak carrier that does not need an extension. I recommend the Malone DownLoader, part # MPG114MD. It's a J-styel carrier that is compatible with the Malone Telos XL Load Assist, part # MPG351XL. It's a load assist with...
