The recommended size Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar for a 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen is 47", part # TH711220. That said, you can usually go up to the next size without issue which will be 50", part # TH711320 or part # TH711300. These can both be used with the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars part # TH710401 to complete the system. This would be the largest size that would work due to the channels underneath. view full answer...
We have not yet heard about any issues with the Curt trailer hitch # C11422 interfering with the Accident Avoidance sensors on the 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen. The hitch mounts in line with the rear bumper beam, see instruction link, and only the hitch receiver is visible so there really isn't a way that it could interfere. view full answer...
The installation of your Thule # TH6357B cargo box will involve 3 parts; (1.) Roof Rails that run from front to back which you ordered, (2.) Roof crossbars and feet that run from side to side, and (3.) The Thule # TH6357B cargo box.
You will need the Thule # TH712200 Crossbars, and the Thule # TH710401 crossbar feet for raised roof rails. Your cargo box will easily attach to these crossbars.
Optionally you can install locks for the feet by ordering the Thule # TH710401 one-key lock... view full answer...
The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 is confirmed to fit your 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen TDI. This will give you a 4-way flat connector to use with small trailers and Auxiliary Lights # C53201.
The Mounting Bracket # 18144 can be used to secure the 4-way if you choose to run it outside the rear cargo area and place it near the receiver. view full answer...
You can use the Tail Light Isolating Diode System with Wiring Harness # 38955 on your 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen to activate the lights but I recommend using something with better wiring connections like the Curt Universal Tail Light Wiring Kit # C63CR instead.
The Curt system uses heat shrink butt connectors to help protect the wiring better and it operates essentially the same way as the Hopkins kit you were looking at.
We sure you have both this wiring and your trailer wiring... view full answer...
On your 2017 VW Golf hatchback, we don't have a custom fit for your vehicle. The other custom fits for other models are not confirmed to fit your Golf hatchback. The wiring harness I recommend for you is the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit, # 119250KIT. This will not plug into your wiring with quick connects but will actually connect over your wiring without cutting into it. This harness has zero contact interface sensors... view full answer...
Yes, the Replacement Fast Grip Clamp # TH94JV can be used with round bars.
The Replacement Fast Grip Clamp # TH94JV is the correct replacement clamp for Thule Pule Cargo Boxes, like the Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613. These work with round, square, aero, elliptical and most factory crossbars. view full answer...
The trailer wiring harness we offer for your 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen is the Curt Harness, part # C59236. This harness is a hardwire installation so I have attached a drawing that shows how it should be installed.
This harness will work with trailer that have either LED or incandescent lights.
The Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11422 is confirmed as a fit for your SportWagen. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.

Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24949 will not interfere with any of the sensors at the back of your 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen. The hitch itself would not interfere with a backup camera but if you have something in the hitch such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then that could partially block the view. Any trusted mechanic or RV dealer with a service center can install the hitch. I would call around to see what different places charge in labor.
If you want to use the hitch for an accessory... view full answer...
Square crossbars are generally between 7/8" to 1" wide x 7/8" tall and there are a number of quality economical options.
For a J-style kayak carrier I recommend checking out the etrailer Kayak Carrier # e98878 which transports a single kayak on its side and even includes a pair of cam buckle straps and a pair of tie-downs; it uses clamps to secure to the bars.
If you wanted a rear-loading saddle style carrier a great option is the Rhino-Rack Nautic Carrier # RR571. This carrier also clamps... view full answer...
Since your 2018 VW Golf SportWagen has the factory rails on the roof you actually need the Evo raised rail feet, part # TH710401, to install Thule WingBars on the roof.
The 47 inch WingBars, part # TH711200 for silver or # TH711220 for black are the correct length for your VW. I've linked a video that shows how the feet fit onto your rails. view full answer...
Both Thule and Yakima produce great products, so I recommend going with a Yakima roof rack for your 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen since that is what you are familiar with.
The recommended JetStream roof rack system for your SportWagen includes 50 inch Crossbars # Y00425, the TimberLine Towers # Y33TR, and SKS Lock Cores # Y07204. This system has a weight capacity of 165 lbs so you will want to keep that in mind when loading your kayaks.
Since you said that you were needing at least... view full answer...
Using a hitch adapter does cut the capacity of the hitch it's installed in by 50 percent so yes you'd need to go to w 2 inch hitch for your 2017 Volkswagen Golf like with the # 306-X7315 to use the full upper and lower Yakima Exo system part # Y82VR. view full answer...
The Alltrack is a version of the 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen. Curt and Draw-Tite indicate that their hitches fit all models of the 2017 SportWagen. So I recommend Draw-Tite hitch # 24949 since it does not have special requirements for using a bike rack or cargo carrier like the Curt hitch does.
The recommended ball mount for this hitch is # 3590. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19257 and for a 2 inch use # 19258. The trailer wiring harness # 118730 is also listed as a fit for all models... view full answer...
I took a look at the answer pages that you were referring to and you are correct that the T-One # 118646 was recommended. It is no longer a fit for the 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen and those questions were completed before a statement came from Tekonsha stating that it won't fit the 2015. I have sent an update for those answer pages to change, thank you for helping us out with that.

I am happy to check for a common roof rack fit for your two vehicles, the 2017 Jeep Cherokee and the 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen. All roof racks we offer for each vehicle are shown on the two linked pages.
If the Cherokee has factory roof rails that run front-to-back you could use one set of Rhino-Rack bars, 49-inch Vortex Aero bars # RRVA126B-2, on both vehicles. On the Cherokee the bars will install using SX Leg Kit # RRSX100 and on the VW you can use Leg Kit # RRSX022.
