Compatibility of Yamima FrontLoader and Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars on 2012 VW Jetta Sportwagen
Question:
will part SXB3 accomodate a Yakima Front Loader Upright Bike holder, please?
asked by: Pete R
Expert Reply:
The Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars measure 3-1/8 inches wide by 1-3/16 inches tall. Yakima tells me that their FrontLoader roof mounted bike rack will accommodate a crossbar with those dimensions.
You will also need to make sure that there is at least 1-1/2 inches of clearance under the crossbar in order for the attachment hardware of the FrontLoader to clear the roof of your Jetta SportWagen.
I have linked you to the instructions for the FrontLoader Bike Rack as well as an install video and instructions for the Rhino Rack crossbars.
