The Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11000 on your 2011 Volkswagen GTI. It is located right under the rear fascia of your vehicle. It measures so that the top of the ball mount is approximately 8 inches from the ground as you can see on the attached installation video of a similar 2010 model. The ball mounts that are used with these hitches will always have to be used in the rise position.
I am including a link to the Installation instructions of this hitch. The instructions will show... view full answer...
You will need to measure the T-slots of your 2012 Volkswagen GTI's crossbars in order to determine the fit of the Thule XADAPT2 AeroBlade and Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Roof-Mounted Carriers # Xadapt2.
In order to fit, the T-slots need to accept the 25mm or 35mm T-slot bolts that the XADAPT2 has. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well. view full answer...
Most likely you will need to still have to do a bit of modification to connect your water and gas lines to any new water heater since manufacturers do not follow any standards for inlet/outlet placement. The best replacement option for your Atwood G6A-6E is going to be the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR. That being said, it has a 19-3/16" depth so it may take up more space than you can afford.
If this is the case then the next best option is going to be the Fogatti RV Tankless... view full answer...
Before buying snow tire chains you will want to check your owners manual or with the Volkswagen dealer, to see if you can install snow tire chains on your 2010 Volkswagen GTI, or if there are any limitations.
A 4wd vehicle is nice to have in the snow, but the tires make a difference and how somebody drives with the 4wd can make a difference. The 2010 Volkswagen GTI is a front wheel drive vehicle which is designed for performance and handling so it will use the larger 17 inch and 18 inch... view full answer...
Yes! The Rhino-Rack Aero Roof Rack will fit your 2-door hatchback 2009 Volkswagen GTI. It is made of 3 parts: # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK064. view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack consisting of parts # DA118B and # DK064 fits the 3-door version of the 2011 Volkswagen GTI with no factory roof hardware. If you have the 5-door GTI you will need to use a different clamp kit, part # DK207, in place of the # DK064.
The elliptical bars in this rack can accept Rhino-Rack slot-mount accessories and other clamp-on accessories that can fit elliptical bars.

I confirmed with Yakima that the Yakima High Road Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp-On # Y02114 will fit the factory crossbars on your 2010 Volkswagen GTI without an issue. I recommend adding Yakima SKS Lock Cores # Y07202 to secure the bike and bike rack to your roof. I attached a couple demonstration videos for you to check out. view full answer...
I wish I could provide you with a definitive yes or no answer, but we have not yet had the opportunity to install a hitch on a 2013 GTI, so we do not have any dimensions telling us how far the receiver will be recessed under the vehicle, which is the key indication of whether a bike rack will be compatible with a given vehicle. If you already have the hitch installed, you would simply measure from the hitch pin hole rearward until you reach the furthest rearward point of the bumper, which... view full answer...
Boat winches typically can easily handle a boat that is rated twice their capacity as long as it is being pulled onto a trailer with standard carpeted bunk boards. If you are using rollers it can handle more weight but if you are using wooden bunks the ratio is much closer to 1:1. This means that the Hand Winch # DL14958, which is rated for 2,500 lbs, would likely be a great fit for your application!
The great thing about this is that if you were to use the Dutton-Lainson winch then the... view full answer...
I could not locate Thule 480r square bars. The 480r comes back to the Rapid Traverse Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH480R. The Rapid Traverse Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH480R are not a fit for your 2010 Volkswagen GTI 5-door hatchback.
You would need to use the Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501 with the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH145009 which will work if your Thule Square bars are the newer style with the slots on the underside.
If you have the older Thule... view full answer...
If the bolts on your Thule J-Style kayak carriers aren't long enough then you most likely need the adapter kit # THXADAPT11 which is required when installing the Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834 on the Thule AeroBlade crossbars. Since the crossbars on your Rola Sport Series Roof Rack with GTX Mounting System 59736 has a similar shape, you should be able to use the adapter just fine.
If you have other J-Style racks that we carry just let me know what they are and I can see if we have similar adapters... view full answer...
There should be about 18" from the exhaust tip to the nearest part of the carrier, if possible, though another option is to add a cargo carrier with a rise in the shank.
Your 2013 VW GTI only has a Class I hitch available, the Curt # C11000, and there is one cargo carrier for a Class I hitch, the Curt # C18110 which has a rise in the shank of 3-3/4" that may allow it to clear the exhaust, particularly if you can down-turn the exhaust tips.
Otherwise, the only other option to raise a cargo... view full answer...
The Class I trailer hitch you referenced, # C11000 from Curt, will fit your 2013 Volkswagen GTI 4-door hatchback. It fits all versions: I confirmed this with Curt.
No drilling or welding are required for installation, I attached an install video for you.
I have linked you to a couple of articles concerning hitch installation that may be helpful to you. view full answer...
The Thule Passage 2 trunk-mount bike carrier # TH910XT is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Volkswagen GTI so long as the spoiler is a factory-installed part and not an aftermarket part. Their 3-bike version # TH911XT fits similarly on GTIs with the factory roofline spoiler. The mounting straps will make contact with the spoiler but this does not preclude use of the Passage racks on this vehicle.
As with all trunk-mount bike carriers a rear wiper, if present on the car, cannot be used with... view full answer...
The Rhino Rack DK Clamps and Pads, # DK064 does fit a 2011 Volkswagen GTI 3-door model. You would also need to add the crossbars, like # RRVA118B-2, which are 44 inches long. We have a lot of roof rack options for the GTI. I have included a link to them for you. For the Rhino-Rack roof rack you would also need foot pack # RRRLKVA.
For a bike rack, the Yakima Forklift, # Y02098, will fit on bars up to 3-7/8 inches wide and 1-7/8 inches tall. The Rhino Rack bars listed above are 3-1/2 inches... view full answer...
The Thule T2 platform-style 2-bike hitch rack for 1-1/4-inch hitches, part # TH917XTR, does happen to have a modest amount of clearance from its hitch pin hole when folded up in the storage position. This measure is only 3-1/2-inches on your T2 bike rack.
On some vehicles such as your 2011 Volkswagen GTI the Class I hitch mounting points put the end of the receiver tube too far under the car for this small clearance distance to allow the rack to fold. All hitches for your car use the exact... view full answer...
Is it possible that the left turn signal was ran also to the running light circuit? Is this a new install? If you have a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 you should verify that the correct circuits are active on the input and output side of the box when all of the taillight circuits are applied. If the voltage is correct on input side but not output that would indicate that the box is fried and would need to be replaced. view full answer...
The Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack # SR27041 requires a Class II hitch. Only light-duty Class I hitches are made for your car so you will need to choose a Class I-compatible hitch rack of no more than 2-bike capacity. The linked page displays all 2-bike Class I racks.
A 2-bike rack I really like is the Curt # C18085. This hanging rack suspends the bikes by their wheels for no frame contact, it is very lightweight, it offers a substantial 45-lbs-per-bike weight rating, it provides a foot of... view full answer...
I reached out to my contact at Kuat and the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Tilting - Pearl, # SH22P, will fit tires only up to 3 inches with the additional strap. I've linked the page to all their racks that come with the Fat Bike compatibility to assist. The Sherpa will not adapt for that size tire, but there are other options that will work.
The bike carriers that will adapt to fit the 4.8 inch tires are the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Rack # BA22B, the Kuat NV 2.0 for 2... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7375 only fits 2018-2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI.
I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7309 which is a fit for the 2017 Volkswagen GTI. Since the EchoHitch design installs behind the rear bumper the cross tube is hidden for a nice concealed look. I have attached a video for your reference. view full answer...
