Semi-custom roof racks like the SportRack # SR1010 are designed to be cost-effective and to fit reasonably well on lots of different vehicles so in some instances the fit may not be quite as good as with a custom rack meant just for your particular car. But we can help you with your leakage issue.
I suggest you apply some weather-stripping tape like # WS1412 or # WS1434 to the area where you're finding moisture entering the car. This self-adhesive type of foam tape is springy and should... view full answer...
The Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack part # TH88VR is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Volkswagen Golf but since is only rated for carrying bikes up to a weight of 35 lbs it would not be the best solution for carrying e-bikes like what you have. Since there are no trunk mounted bike racks that have a higher weight capacity a hitch solution would be your best option so that you could carry an e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which can carry bikes with low step thru frames... view full answer...
I would be happy to help!
Since you confirmed that the ground wire of the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to verify that there is power on the single green, yellow, red, and brown wire going into the module.
If you have power on each of those wires going into the module but not out then it is likely the module is defective.
If you do not have power going into the module then you will need... view full answer...
Yes, you are going to need to make sure that there is a lock core in the Replacement Long Arm Assembly for Thule EasyFold XT Electric Bike Rack # 1500052414 for it to work properly.
If after you put the lock core in and the arm still is not functioning as intended, then you may just have a damaged part and will need to just simply replace the arm.

We know from Tekonsha training on their universal-fit ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT that this item is very sensitive to the initial setup process, which must be followed exactly for correct operation.
My technical contact at Tekonsha advised that the magnetic sensors in this kit are directionally sensitive. If one of these were clamped on in reversed orientation it would not function correctly. He suggested that you pull the fuse to let the circuitry power down... view full answer...
The wiring system on the 2004 Volkswagen Golf is a complex system. It should have combined brake, tail, and turn signal functions on one wire. This means the red and brown wires are grounded and the yellow wire attaches to the combined brake, left turn signal, and tail light wire and green connects to the combined brake, right turn signal, and tail light wire.
If this is how you have it set up and there is still no left turn signal on the output side of harness # C56175 then that indicates... view full answer...
To determine if the problem is on the vehicle side or the trailer side you can do some testing with a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 or a meter if you have one. Disconnect the trailer and use the circuit tester to test the 4-Way connector on your 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen while someone sits in the car and goes through the light functions.
The pin next to ground is running lights, the next pin is left turn signal and brake lights, and the last pin is right turn signal and brake... view full answer...
The most common cause for the whistling you are hearing with an aero-bar roof rack installed like the Rhino-Rack # RR23QR is an open channel where the rubber inserts install. You did mention verifying that the strips are in place so this doesn't appear to be the issue.
If you notice that the whistling is coming from near one of the connection points between the crossbar and mounting feet, check to make sure that the fit is secure between the two components. You can try repeating the... view full answer...
Adding trailer wiring to a Volkswagen can be tricky due to the complicated electrical system in them. I know that on the 2010 Golf TDI wagon models the tail light wire is gray with a black stripe, brake lights are black with a red stripe, ground is a brown wire, left turn signal is a black wire with white stripe, and right turn signal is black with a green stripe. You can test those wires to see if they are in fact carrying those signals or if different wires are used on your Golf.
