- I found the video you spoke of.
Although the Curt # C11412 can apparently be successfully installed on a 2022 VW Taos, as you can see in the video once installed the receiver tube is so far under the vehicle that the gentleman who installed it had to use a 1-1/4 to 2 inch hitch adapter to move the receiver closer to the rear of the vehicle so he can install his bike rack. The rack wouldn't be able to be installed without the extension the adapter provided, and we don't offer a straight...

- Honestly, the best practice would be to avoid using an adapter like the # 80303 you'd looked at if at all possible.
The very best option would either to remove the existing 1-1/4 inch hitch and replace it with a 2 inch hitch like part # C38JR or replace your existing bike rack for one that's compatible with a 1-1/4 inch hitch such as the Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 which can carry two bikes weighing up to 35 lbs each and is compatible with both 2 inch and 1-1/4 inch receivers.

- Thank you for your purchase of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C38JR for your 2022 Volkswagen Taos!
From what I'm seeing in the photo you sent in it looks like the bracket(s) on your hitch got bent a little during shipping. This isn't super uncommon and as long as you aren't seeing any cracks in the metal or flaking of the powder coat you can safely, but slowly, bend the hitch back into place - it looks like you need it maybe 1/4" to 1/2" wider.

- When we installed the Rhino-Rack Vortex System, parts # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX022, on a 2022 Volkswagen Taos with raised rails we found the clearance from the roof to the bottom of the crossbars to be 1-3/4". This isn't a ton of space but from my experience glass roof systems don't tend to raise up very much so you may still be able to open up the panoramic roof with this roof rack installed.
It's always worth noting that opening up a glass roof with a roof rack installed will alter the...

- When we installed the Curt Receiver # C38JR we measured the inside height of the receiver at 12" where the Draw-Tite Receiver # DT79GR measured at 11-1/2".
