The bumper cover of the 2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen would only need to be trimmed if you had the 4Motion model when installing the # 306-X7315.
Basically you have to cut a hole that is around 5 inches wide and 2.50 inches tall.
I attached a picture that shows the Curt brand equivalent hitch part # 11422 installed on a vehicle like yours with the section trimmed. view full answer...
I checked with my contact at Tekonsha and he said to use the BTT code to install the ZCI part # 119250KIT that you have.
This means to to run the yellow to the vehicle brake/tail/left turn, green to the brake/tail/right turn and then the brown and red wires would not be used.
It sounds like you have tried using the B configuration and that is why you are having problems.
I attached a diagram that shows the different ways you can use this box to wire up to a vehicle.

While I don't know the color code for the wiring on your 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT should have come with a circuit tester so you can use the probe to see what wire carries which function on your SportWagen.
I know the instructions for the ZCI wiring can be a bit overwhelming but that's really just because this is truly a universal wiring kit so Tekonsha wanted to get as much info out there as possible. If you check out... view full answer...
The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C59236 requires a connection directly to the battery using the provided in line fuse holder.
It is more of a safety issue than anything else. There is no way to determine what wire size and what other items in the vehicle are on that same circuit. With too much draw damage can occur to the vehicles electrical system. This is why we can only recommend that you hook directly to the battery per the manufacturer's... view full answer...
The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 for your 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI Sportwagen needs the power wire run directly to the battery with the included 15-amp fuse to make sure you are not overloading an existing circuit.
Connecting the black wire to your existing 12v plug would void the warranty of the # C59236, and if the circuit has a fuse over 15 amps could cause the converter to burn up due to being overloaded.
I included a video of the #... view full answer...
I checked with Thule and for the Aeroblade Edge Roof Rack part numbers # TH7501B-TH7502B that you referenced this is the fit tip they offer regarding the moonroof:
"Thule does not recommend opening, venting, or retracting the sunroof/moonroof/glass roof while the rack is mounted. Damage to the glass and/or opening mechanism can occur." view full answer...
Since there are no trunk mounted bike racks that can carry bikes that weigh over 35 lbs you'd have to look into a hitch mounted e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which was designed for the heavier e-bikes as it has a higher weight capacity, uses frame clamps, and also has a ramp built into it for easier loading/unloading.
For your 2017 Volkswagen Golf you'd need a hitch like the # C11422 to use this rack. view full answer...
The area on the 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen that needs to be trimmed to install Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24949 is covered in the instructions which I have linked. I also included a picture showing this step from the instructions. Any trusted mechanic or RV dealer with a service center can install the hitch. I recommend calling around to see what different places charge for labor.
If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make... view full answer...
It sounds like you are referring to the review of the Curt Hitch part # C11411 where a customer had difficulty getting the hitch to line up with the mounting location on his vehicle. During shipping hitches can get bent which can make them difficult to install. What the reviewer most likely should have done is bent the hitch back when he found out it didn't want to line up correctly.
As long as there aren't any creases or flaked paint on the hitch you would be just fine. view full answer...
Thanks for the purchase, and I have added a cut out from the instructions which detail how to determine the wiring type of your 2019 VW Golf SportWagen to install the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236.
While you can use a circuit tester like # PTW2992, the easiest thing to do is check the wiring description to see what your VW falls under. You'll need a helper to engage the lights, but that's the easiest way - just check your lights functions... view full answer...

This wiring harness will work with trailers that have either LED or incandescent lights. view full answer...
I looked at the instructions for each of the trailer hitches that fit a 2018 VW Golf SportWagen and there is no mention of blind spot sensors in the instructions for the EcoHitch # 306-X7315, Draw-Tite # 24949, or Curt # C11422, nor is there any mention of blind spot sensors in the linked installation video of the Draw-Tite hitch being installed on a '15 VW SportWagen.
Based on my research, the instructions and the installation video it doesn't look like installing any of these hitches,... view full answer...
