For a base plate for your 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle you would want the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 521225-1 that will also work with the Roadmaster Tow Bar part # RM-020 that you referenced.
For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring. For a 7-way to 4-way umbilical you will also need the #... view full answer...
Glad to hear your Draw Tite hitch part # 24679 is working well on your 2005 Volkswagen Beetle convertible. The trailer wiring harness you would need is the Tekonsha part # 119178KIT.
I attached an install video that shows this kit installed on a similar Volkswagen as yours too. The process will be slightly different on your vehicle, but the video will show you basically the same way it would install on your vehicle. view full answer...
I would recommend a hitch and hitch mount bike rack for your 2005 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible.
Because there is no place to secure the top straps of a trunk mounted bike rack, none of the manufacturers carry a trunk mount that is recommended for the convertible models.
The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch, # 24679, along with the Swagman XTC-2, # S64670, platform 2 bike rack would be an excellent setup for transporting bikes with your Beetle. view full answer...
I did some research and the 2005 Volkswagen Beetle with automatic transmission will have to be towed on a tow dolly, it cannot be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. Please consult your owner's manual to confirm this information.
For a tow dolly, if your Beetle has 16 inch wheels, you could use the one we carry, # RM-2050-1. If the wheels are larger then you will need to obtain a tow dolly locally.
Another option is to put the Beetle on a trailer so all of the wheels are off of the... view full answer...
I have exactly what you need. What you are describing is referred to as tow bar wiring.
I did some checking and it looks like Blue Ox has confirmed the Blue Ox Tail Light Wiring Kit # BX8869 as a compatible wiring system for your 2004 VW New Beetle. To complete the wiring and allow you to connect to your tow vehicle you would also want the # BX8861.
I attached a couple FAQs to the right with more info on tow bar wiring. view full answer...
We do have an option for carrying two bikes on a 2010 VW Beetle Convertible, but at this time there is not a trunk mount bike rack available for the convertible models.
As long as your Beetle is not the Turbo S model you can use the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch, # 24679, along with a hitch mounted 2 bike rack that is compatible with a Class I Hitch.
I recommend the Swagman XTC-2 bike rack, # S64670, because it is easy to load bikes on and it folds compact for storage. Another rack... view full answer...
For your 1999 Volkswagen New Beetle the Inno Roof Rack # INB127, # INSUT, # INJK, and # INK775 is a confirmed fit.
Then for a cargo basket the Rhino Rack # RMCB would be a great choice that would match the size of your roof better than the larger baskets. This measures 47-3/16" long x 35-3/8" wide x 5-1/2" deep. view full answer...
We do have a roof rack option for your 2002 VW Beetle, but Thule doesn't currently offer a roof rack fit.
I'd recommend going with the Inno Square Bar roof rack, which consists of the following parts:
• 50 Inch Inno Square Crossbars, part # INB127
• Inno Feet for Square Crossbars, part # INSUT
• Short Roof Adapter Kit, part # INJK
• Vehicle Specific Fit Kit, part # INK775
For a carrier for your outrigger canoe, I'd go with the Yakima SweetRoll, part # Y04074 which will allow you to easily... view full answer...
Without knowing the specifics about how the Yakima rack didn't fit well, it would be hard to compare the fit of the Inno rack to what you had. The Inno rack uses clamps that grab the upper door jamb of the vehicle, which is a reliable attachment method.
To provide a rack for your Beetle, you'd need the following items:
Square crossbars, part # INB127
Roof Rack Feet, # INSUT
Short Roof Adapter Kit # INJK
Custom Fit Kit # INK775
To carry your boards, you could use Inno's Locker carrier,... view full answer...
For a trailer hitch confirmed as a fit for your 2006 Volkswagen New Beetle the Draw Tite hitch part # 24679 is a confirmed fit that will work great. It fits the non-turbo and turbo models.
I like this hitch over the Curt because if you ever wanted to carry a bike rack you wouldn't have to use a stabilizer strap like the Curt requires with non-supported loads like bike racks. view full answer...
There are no hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2004 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo S. In case you were looking for a way to transport a bike you could still use a trunk mounted bike rack as long as you don't have a convertible.
The Saris Bones Trunk Rack part # SA805BL has been confirmed to fit your vehicle and would work well for you if this is the case. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. view full answer...
I checked with Thule and the OutWay Platform part # TH65JV has been confirmed as a fit for your 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle. The lower arm of the carrier will rest on the upper portion of the bumper so the wheel trays should not interfere with the bumper at all. view full answer...
What you have is a slipper spring. This is a common style of trailer spring which we have a few options that are near your 24 inch dimension. We have the part # e77SR which is for a 2,000 lb axle, # SP-178275 which is for a 1,500 lb axle, and # SP-177275 which is for a 1,000 lb axle. view full answer...
There is a way to carry bikes on your 2009 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible but no trunk mount carriers will fit. What you can do is use a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike carrier. If this sounds like a feasible option then I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24679.
This is a Class I trailer hitch so it will work well carrying one bike. As a Class I hitch you will need to look at Class I compatible bike carriers. For an inexpensive carrier that is compatible I recommend the Curt # C18085.... view full answer...
The only available roof rack for a 2004 Volkswagen New Beetle (Hard Top Only) is the Inno Square Crossbar System part # INB127, part # INSUT, part # INJK, and part # INK775. This is a great system which will accept nearly all roof rack mounted accessories. It installs via clips which attach to the door jamb and it comes with locks for security. view full answer...
For flat towing a vehicle you would not need a sway control unit, nor is there one made for that purpose. You would need several items though. To start you would need a base plate kit. For your 2004 Volkswagen New Beetle you would want the # 521225-1.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can... view full answer...
If your 2002 Volkswagen New Beetle turbo is not an S model then you can install a trailer hitch, # 24679. There are currently no hitch options for the Turbo S models, only the regular Turbo models. You could then use a bike rack that is compatible with a Class I trailer hitch. I recommend the Swagman Trailhead, # S63360. It can fold down, it has anti-sway cradles, and the rise in the shank provides more ground clearance.
I do not recommend a trunk mount rack because of the spoiler. In... view full answer...
We do not have a video showing installation of the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT on your particular vehicle, the 1998 New Beetle, but we do for another vehicle and that video is linked for your review.
The best bike carrying option for you will depend on how many bikes you need to move. If you must transport 3 bikes then a trunk-mount carrier like the Passage 3 is the way to go. But if you need to transport only 2 bikes then the better choice overall will be to install a trailer... view full answer...
The Draw Tite hitch part # 24679 is a confirmed fit for your 2003 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo. It will be the best way to go about installing a bike rack on your vehicle as well since it will be the most secure and won't touch any metal surfaces.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top... view full answer...
