The trailer wiring harness I recommend for your 2018 VW Golf SportWagen is the ZCI Wiring Harness # 119250KIT because it uses sensors which clamp onto your VW's wires to detect when the wires have current.
What this means is that you do not have to cut or even splice into your Golf's wires when you are installing the harness, protecting them from any potential damage; you can see how it clamps on in the accompanying photo.

Great question, thanks for asking this. The most direct answer to your question of road noise is that it depends on how and what you load on them. That will have greater influence on the flow of air over the top of vehicle than the particular bar itself. But from the options available, my recommendation is theThule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711220 mount these with the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710401. From customer feedback and product reviews this option helps reduce... view full answer...
For the 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen the Thule Aeroblade Edge Rack part # TH7501B-TH7502B that you referenced is going to be the most aerodynamic option we carry. The bars are shaped to provide the best aerodynamics and since the bars do not extend past the feet of the rack they will sit a bit lower (gets them out of some of the wind) and would have less bar to make wind noise.

The Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack for your 2018 VW Golf SportWagen that consists of # TH711220 for the 47" Crossbars and # TH710401 for the Foot Pack will indeed allow for more clearance between the roof and crossbars than the AeroBlade Edge system that you also mentioned.
I reached out to my contact at Thule regarding operation of the panoramic sunroof on your vehicle with the bars attached and she said that this is not something that Thule recommends with any of their racks just due to... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11422 we have given a installation rating of 2 hours for a DIY installation on your 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, that will have the capability of a 2nd person to help with the installation at times when a 2nd set of hands is suggested. These are general times given as there will be those that take longer and those that it takes longer to complete the installation.
I suggest watching our installation video below to help familiarize yourself with the... view full answer...
There are trailer hitches that will fit the 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen of which the Alltrack is one of the options for that vehicle. The hitches available are all Class I hitches though ( # C11422 and # 24949 ) and as such are limited to 2 bikes maximum. In order to use a swinging bike rack you would need to have a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver. Even a Class II has a 1-1/4 inch receiver but it can hold more than 2 bikes unlike the Class I.
You mentioned a Subaru Outback.... view full answer...
For your 2015 VW Golf SportWagen TDI, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Receiver Hitch # 24949. This Class I hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will use existing holes in the VW's frame for a no-drill installation. The hitch itself has a towing weight capacity of 2,000 pounds but you will want to check your vehicle's owner's manual for its capacity. It is very likely that your VW Golf SportWagen has a lower capacity than what this hitch can handle. You will need to follow... view full answer...
We do offer a hitch for the 2015 Golf Sportwagen if it is the TDI model and not a 4-wheel drive(R model). The reason it will not work with non-diesel model Golfs is because the exhaust exits the vehicle right in the center, making it impossible for a trailer hitch.
The hitch is the Curt Round Tube Receiver, part # C11411. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
We do not have a trailer wiring kit available for the 2015, so you may want to check with your dealership... view full answer...
We can't recommend you attach the Curt hitch part # C11422 to the rear bumper of a camper.
If you have a 4 inch square bumper instead you would want the Curt hitch part # E-100 which is designed specifically for that application.
At the rear of a trailer or RV the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the trailer... view full answer...
Yes, the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack # TH7501B-TH7502B that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen that has raised side rails and would work well for you. Because of that I would recommend it for you.
This wouldn't interfere with the moon roof your vehicle, but you should note that crossbars will create quite a bit of noise if the moon roof is open. view full answer...
The best hitch option for your 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen TDI is going to be the EcoHitch part # 306-X7315 which is made in the USA, is mostly hidden which looks the best installed and offers the best ground clearance, and because it has a 2 inch opening which more hitch accessories are made for as it's a higher weight capacity design.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT as it installs without requiring any splicing to the vehicle wiring.
Since you wanted... view full answer...
I personally prefer and recommend roof racks that give you the best bang for your buck for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen. For your Golf I recommend the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215.
Not only is this roof rack aerodynamic but also lightweight and corrosion resistant because of the aluminum construction. view full answer...
I recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7315 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen because it is the only trailer hitch option that comes with a 2" receiver. This is important because a 2" receiver is compatible with a lot more accessories than a 1-1/4" receiver is. The EcoHitch is also designed with a hidden crosstube so that the only part you can see is the receiver - giving you a clean look after the install.
Then for wiring I highly recommend the ZCI Wiring Kit # 119250KIT because it draws power... view full answer...
Your Aeroblade bars can be used on the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710401 which is correct fit for the raised side rails of your 2018 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen. view full answer...
Since you have the Thule Aeroblade Edge roof rack part number # TH7501B-TH7502B installed on your 2016 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen you'd need the shorter 32 inch long fairing part # TH62WV to better match the length of the bars. Ideally the fairing you go with matches the same width as the feet of the roof rack. view full answer...
I do have a solution for you but I cannot confirm that wiring harness # 118730 will work with the Canadian 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen. What you can use is a hardwire harness that is compatible with multi-plex and pulse width modulation wiring systems such as # 119250KIT. view full answer...
For your 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen the Curt hitch part # C11422 will fit the TDI and non-TDI models so it would be the correct hitch to use.
The underbody panels and bumper of your vehicle will have to be temporarily loosened/removed but aside from that there wouldn't be any permanent modification. There would be no drilling required either.
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... view full answer...
Because of the size and capabilities of the 2015 VW Golf SportWagen there is only a Class I trailer hitch available, # C11411, and it is a fit for TDI models. Class I and II trailer hitches have 1-1/4 inch receivers. There are no 2 inch hitches available and based on the vehicle it is unlikely anyone will make a 2 inch hitch for it.
It sounds like you already have an accessory that fits a 2 inch hitch. You could use an adapter, # HTAD, to use the 2 inch accessory with the Class I, 1-1/4... view full answer...
For your 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen the best solution we have is the Thule Aeroblade Edge Rack part # TH7501B-TH7502B that you referenced. The bars of this kit do not extend past the feet of the rack so it will give you a very factory look and will give you minimal wind noise as well. This is the nicest rack available for your vehicle so I would recommend it highly. view full answer...
The best trailer wiring harness available for your 2019 VW Golf SportWagen is the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Harness # 119250KIT, as it uses unique zero-contact sensors to identify the current flowing through each wire by simply clamping on to it. In actual practice this just means that you don't have to actually cut/splice into the factory wires on your brand new vehicle.
This, along with the powered converter that will power the trailer lights (instead of using power from the actual... view full answer...
