  • Thule WingBar Edge Roof Rack Parts for a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen with Raised Rails
  • The correct parts for a Thule Edge roof rack on your 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen with raised rails is the following: - WingBar Edge Crossbars # TH66FE - Edge Raised Rail Feet # TH69SC - Lock Core Kit # TH450400 (optional) The crossbars measure 30-1/2" long so as long as that's what you're using for your Mazda CX-5 you'll be good to just get the feet and the lock cores (if needed/wanted) and you'll be good to go!

  • Everything Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI
  • I will be happy to help you get everything you will need to tow a trailer and go on the road with your band: except roadies. We are all out of roadies. First, you will need a trailer hitch. I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" Item # 306-X7284 with ball mount # C45230. This trailer hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds. This is important so I have included a link on how to determine tongue weight for you. The gross trailer weight capacity...

  • Trailer Taillight Wiring Harness for 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
  • I'm unaware of any negative effects of installing a standard powered taillight converter like # C59496 on a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. I did look through the owner's manual, and I found where Volkswagen states "Never connect the trailer lights directly to the electrical system of your vehicle." This is most likely to prevent any short circuits that occur in the trailer's wiring from damaging the vehicle's wiring system. A powered taillight converter like the # C59496 is circuit...

  • Spare Wheel/Tire Combo Recommendation for CE Smith Boat/PWC Trailer # CE48810
  • You could use either the # AM30020 for a white painted steel wheel or the # AM30030 for a steel wheel with a galvanized finish. The tires that are included on the CE Smith # CE48810 trailer are manufactured by Kenda, the same company as the tires used on both the wheel/tire combos I mentioned. The tread pattern might be slightly different, but because the tire will be used as a spare, it doesn't need to be an exact match.

  • How to Transport Dirt Bike with 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI
  • With a bike that weighs 225-lbs, you'll need a hitch that can support that plus the carrier. Luckily, the EcoHitch # 306-X7284 is rated for 300-lbs of tongue weight. Using the etrailer carrier for 2" hitches # e98873 (which weighs 58-lbs) will allow you to remain under the EcoHitch's limit (225 bike + 58 carrier = 283-lbs of tongue weight). If you reconsider using a trailer, I recommend the # K2MMT4X6 or the small flat-deck utility type trailers often found at farm and outdoor stores....

  • Replacement Hardware for a Curt Hitch 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
  • Yes, there is a way for you to just purchase the hardware for a hitch. I went ahead and first confirmed that the # C11474 is a custom fit hitch for your 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen so that you would be purchasing the correct replacement product for your vehicle. We can put together replacement hardware kits for hitches with part # RHK. When ordering you will need to know the code / part number and brand name (which is Curt) of the hitch you are installing. Simply include that...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Option For a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
  • The best trailer wiring harness option for your 2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen is the Tow Ready Heavy-Duty Modulite Harness Kit, # 119190KIT. This is a splice-in harness and I have attached an installation video of this harness on a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta to give you an idea of what is involved with the installation. I'm sorry, but there are no plug-in style trailer wiring harnesses available for the Jetta SportWagen. We carry all of the major trailer wiring harness manufacturers and...
