Expert Answers about Volkswagen Golf


  • Cargo Box to Fit Rhino-Rack Aero Crossbars on 2019 Volkswagen Golf
  • We carry a lot of roof boxes that fit the Rhino-Rack aero crossbars. In order to know for sure if one of them allows you to open the rear hatch of your 2019 Volkwagen Golf you can take a simple measurement. Measure from the center of the front crossbar to the seam between the VW's roof and the rear hatch. You need a roof box that gives you at least this much clearance. If you can tell me your measurement I can make a recommendation. A likely option for you is the Thule Motion XT, part...

  • 2013 VW Golf Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
  • There are no cargo carriers available for your 2013 VW Golf that are swing-away carriers; your '13 Golf only has Class I hitches such as the Draw-Tite # 24825 available, so you will need a fixed cargo carrier such as the Curt # C18110.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation for a 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH69ZR has only been confirmed to fit the GTI model of your 2015 Volkswagen Golf. Since you have the TDI I recommend going with the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7309 as we know for sure this will fit your vehicle. It doesn't have the removeable receiver, but the crosstube is hidden so there is minimal parts to be seen. I'm attaching a link to our return policy for you to check out.

  • Which EcoHitch Will Fit on my 2016 VW Golf GTI MK7 Package
  • I have a solution for you, but the EcoHitch # 306-X7376 is not designed to fit on the 2016 VW Golf GTI with the MK7 package. Instead, you'll want to use the EcoHitch # 306-X7309 which is a confirmed fit on your 2016 VW Golf GTI MK7 and will provide you with a hitch receiver with a hidden crosstube for greater ground clearance, as well as a great factory installed look.

  • Will EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2016 VW Golf GTI?
  • The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # 306-X7309 will fit your 2016 VW GTI. This 2" hitch is a fit for all models of the 2016 Volkswagen Golf with the exception of R models. To add a 4-way to your '16 GTI the correct wiring harness is # 119250KIT. If you are going to be towing, I recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900, which may fulfill your towing needs in one tidy package; two ball mounts - one with a 3/4” rise or 2” drop and the other with a 2-3/4” rise or 4” drop - a 1-7/8” hitch...

  • Class I Hitch and Hitch Adapter for 2015 Volkswagen Golf
  • Curt Class I hitch # C11412 is a confirmed fit on the 2015 Volkswagen Golf so long as it is NOT the "R" version. An installation video for this hitch is linked. When installed the hitch pin hole will be approximately 4-1/2-inches forward of the rear edge of the bumper as shown in the video. This means that when selecting compatible Class I hitch-mount accessory items like bike or cargo carriers you want to chose ones that provide enough clearance that they do not contact the car. Examples...

  • The Thule AeroBlade roof rack for the 2004 VW Golf, consisting of parts # TH711220, # TH480R and THKIT1051, is a correct fit for the 5-door version with no existing rails or crossbars.

  • Trailer Hitch that Fits 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI
  • We have the EcoHitch part # 306-X7375 which is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI and would be what you'd want if you wanted a 2 inch hitch or the # 306-X7376 for a 1-1/4 inch hitch.

  • Adapter for Class 1 Trailer Hitch With 1-1/4 Inch Receiver to Use Thule Bike Rack
  • The only 1-1/4" to 2" adapter that will work with the Class 1 Curt Trailer Hitch # C11000 that fits your 2012 VW Golf is the Brophy Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD. It is important to note that a hitch adapter will reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50 percent, which means the 200 lb tongue weight capacity of the Curt Hitch # C11000 becomes 100 lbs when using an adapter. That matters because if you are using the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV, for example, it weighs...

  • Replacement LED Bulbs For H7 Bulbs in 2014 Volkwagen Golf
  • There are no 100 watt LED bulbs for your 2014 VW Golf because LED bulbs draw much less power. So while you can't replace your H7 55 watt incandescent bulbs with 100 watt LED bulbs because they aren't available, you can replace your bulbs with LEDs. The best option for that on your 2014 Golf are the 16.5 watt H7 LED Headlight Bulbs with Anti-Flicker Harness - Single Beam - 1,995 Lumens - Cool White # ARC44VR.

  • Hitch Rack Recommendations for a 2019 VW Golf Regular Hatchback with Curt C11412 Hitch Receiver
  • We have several different options for 2 bikes that fit your 2019 VW Golf. The type of rack that is going to best serve your needs is either the platform or hanging rack. Platform racks are going to be much easier to lift the bike on and off the rack in addition to being able to carry heavier bikes. A hanging rack is going to be lighter weight to make it easier to take on and off your car when not in use and will typically be a bit more cost effective. When we measured a 2017 VW Golf we...

  • Recommended EcoHitch Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI
  • No, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7332 you're looking at will not fit your Volkswagen Golf GTI. This hitch is only designed to be used with the R models, so for your GTI you'd want to use # 306-X7310 instead. The only difference between this hitch and the one you were looking at is the receiver size. This hitch has a 1 1/4" class II receiver, while the # 306-X7332 you originally looked at has a 2" receiver.
