Expert Answers about Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
- Recommended Options For Carrying 4 Bikes On 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportsWagen
- We do have some options for you to be able to carry 4 bikes on your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen, but due to the towing capacity of your vehicle they cannot be carried on a 4-bike hitch mounted carrier. You will want to check the owner's manual or with the dealership to see what the towing and tongue weight capacities are for your SportWagen.
With the hitches that are available for your vehicle all being Class l, the maximum bikes you can carry on a hitch is 2. There are a few options...
view full answer... - Which Trailer Hitch Fits 2014 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen TDI
- The Curt hitch part # C11474 that you referenced actually replaced the part number 11072 that you mentioned, but it will not fit the TDI version of the SportWagen.
That said the only hitch we have confirmed as a fit for the TDI model of a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7284. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - 4-Way to 7-Way Adapter Recommendation for a Trailer with 7-Way
- Current could flow through either direction of the Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Way Connector Adapter # PK12716 that you referenced. That being said the connector would NOT match up to the 4-way on your Jetta to the 7-way on your trailer.
You would need the part # 37185 instead. You will notice that this adapter has a socket instead of a male 7-way. This would be the configuration that would work for your application.

- The Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box, part # TH613, which you reference, does not come with crossbars. It sounds like you have factory rails so to complete your roof rack system I recommend the Thule WingBars roof rack system, parts # TH711200 and # TH710401. These crossbars are some of the quietest bars on the market and do not sacrifice strength. I have included a video of this rack installed on a different vehicle for you to check out. The installation is the same as with your Jetta....

view full answer... - Roof Rack and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2010 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
- The only way I can safely recommend you carry 2 more bikes on your 2010 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen that has a Class I hitch is to go with a roof rack mounted option since Class I hitches can only carry up to 2 bikes.
For a roof rack you would want the part # MPG215 to give you a set of crossbars for the raised rails that run front to back on your roof.
Then for front wheel mounted rack you would want the Thule Sidearm part # TH599000 for each of the additional bikes.

- The Hidden Hitch 60283 has been discontinued. This hitch is not a fit for your 2015 model as they are only a fit for 2009 to 2014 model years.
For your 2015 VW TDI Golf Sportwagen, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24949. This hitch requires no drilling, but underbody panel and fascia must be temporarily removed for installation. I recommend this hitch over the Curt # C11422 because it doesn't require a stabilization strap...

view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportsWagen
- Technically the Thule OutWay Platform, # TH65JV, will fit your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. However, I do not recommend this rack for your vehicle. It is best suited for vehicles that have a metal bumper. This is because the rack is heavy, about 45 pounds. When loaded with bikes, let's say 30 pounds per bike, it would 105 pounds total pushing down on the soft bumper of your V-dub. This can cause deformation in the vehicle's bumper. There isn't a 3-bike version available in this style.

view full answer... - Could Trailer Safety Chains Attach to the Inside of a Trailer Coupler Channel
- Running safety chains on a trailer on the inside of the channel would be pretty difficult as it would be hard to secure them to the inside of the channel and it would get a bit complicated where the chains come out since they would be right where the coupler attaches to the ball.
With that being said, if you can find a qualified fabricator who could securely attach safety chains/cables to the inside of your frame channel what you are asking about would be feasible.

view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen with Sunroof
- Roof Rack manufacturers do not typically test their roof racks for sunroof interference, but after doing a little research on the sunroof on the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen, I recommend choosing a roof rack that sits above the factory side rails. When the sunroof is retracted, it comes pretty close to the same height as the side rails.
The roof rack I recommend is the Thule WingBar Roof Rack. This roof rack consists of the Thule WingBars, # TH711200 in silver or # TH711220 in black,...
