Thank you very much for the kind words. We have a lot of folks working hard to bring you this experience and it is always nice to hear when someone thinks we have done a good job!
I do have a solution for you but it isn't a mirror. The side mirrors on your 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan are not conducive for use with universal towing mirrors because they would not be able to properly grip the factory side mirrors. If you want to try the universal mirrors that I recommend the most are K-Source... view full answer...
The etrailer hitch part # e98906 is the best choice for a bike rack for your 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan since it does not require a stabilizer strap like the Curt does.
The best hitch lock will vary on the bike rack that you use.
I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be easy to install and remove from your vehicle since it's light, but also it'll be very easy to load bikes on... view full answer...
The Malone 18b cargo box part # MPG911 would fit the OEM crossbars of your 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan if it was equipped with them. If instead the vehicle just had raised side rails you'd need a roof rack that fits them with the Malone Air Flow2 part # MAL74AR. view full answer...
Based on my research, the weight capacity of the 1-1/4 inch OEM hitch you have installed on your 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan is 1,500 lbs max towing which would indicate it's a class I hitch.
For that size hitch, your best option for a bike rack is the Thule T2 Classic 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH9045. This rack is compatible with your Class I hitch, can carry up to 100 lbs total for two bikes or up to 60 l bs when carrying a single bike. Keep in mind this bike rack weighs 50 lbs itself, so you... view full answer...
Yes, the etrailer hitch part # e98906 that you referenced does fit a 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan that is front wheel drive. I attached the installation instructions for you to check out as well. view full answer...
We have exactly what you need for your 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan. I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness, Item # 118675, which is a confirmed fit. It will give you trailer lighting functions with a 4-Way flat connector. It plugs directly into your existing vehicle behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights.
Since it sounds like you plan to tow a trailer, I also recommend the Curt Ball Mount with 2 Inch Ball, Item # C45036, which also comes with a pin and clip.

There are two versions of the Thule T2 bike rack with only difference being the size hitch they fit. If you have a 2 inch hitch version you'd want a hitch like the etrailer part # e43ZR which is this size or if you have the 1-1/4 inch version you'd want the part # C12177 which is this size.
If you pick the correct hitch size for your rack you would not need to use any adapters. view full answer...
You do not need to use a lift to install the Curt Hitch # C13381 in your 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan. We use a lift in our install videos to help make filming the install easier. view full answer...
The easiest way to get crossbars on the roof of your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan is to get the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails # C18118. These will just clamp around your existing raised rise rails and is super easy compared to getting something like the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Bars # RRVA126B-2. This would require getting the Rhino Rack SX Series Legs # RRSX022 which would be a less cost effective option.
I recommend getting the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629906 because it... view full answer...
The first thing you will want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual for any recommendations or restrictions on tire chain use. Some vehicles need a specific Class of chains.
For the 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan, if your owners manual states you can use chains, I recommend the Thule CG9 Pro Chains, # TH2004205104. These are the proper sized chain for an SUV with 235/50R18 tires.
The chains are easy to install and will tighten themselves as you drive. These chains require 12 mm of clearance... view full answer...
The Thule WingBar Roof Rack System you referenced that consists of # TH711220 for the two Wingbar Evo Crossbars and # TH710401 for the Raised Rail Feet will physically mount to the raised side rails of your 2016 VW Tiguan without issue.
There is indeed a chance, as with any roof rack, that the crossbars might interfere with the opening of a sunroof on a vehicle if equipped. I can't be sure if you will have any interference on the Tiguan but I can give you a measurement that will allow... view full answer...
The two part numbers you mentioned would be all that you would need to complete a Rhino Rack roof rack on your 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan. Part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK342.
This comes with two crossbars and fit kits to attach the rack to your vehicle. view full answer...
The most popular option we carry and the one I would recommend for your 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan is the Curt hitch part # C13133. This is a Class III hitch that would have plenty of capacity for your small trailer and since it is a 2 inch hitch it will have more available future accessories like bike racks that you could use since this is the most popular hitch size. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
When this hitch is installed it will measure 15-3/4 inches from... view full answer...
I reached out to Hopkins and since the Hopkins Endurance Easy-Pull 4-Pole Flat Extension - Vehicle and Trailer Ends - LED Tester - 12" # HM48148 LED lights it will not have the 5-watt draw needed to activate the trailer light circuit in your 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan.
Instead I recommend the # 40376 which my contact at Tow-Ready confirmed will pull more than 5 watts, and will be just what you are needing to test your 4-way connector.
I included a video of the # 40376 for you to take a look at. view full answer...
For your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan AWD 7 passenger we have the Curt hitch part # C13381 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. I attached an install video for this for you to check out too. No fascia trimming is required to install this hitch either. view full answer...
The Rear View Safety Backup Camera # RVS-771 that you referenced is a great solution for adding a back up camera to a vehicle that has a monitor setup already. The connections are standard RCA cables. Or for a kit that includes a monitor you'd want the part # RVS-770613-NM. view full answer...
The Tekonsha Zero Contact Harness # 119250KIT that you referenced is a universal kit that will work on your 2018 VW Tiguan. With that being said, there are now custom fit options available for your 2018 model Tiguan that will be a MUCH easier installation.
For this, I recommend the Curt T-Connector # C56403. This will install by simply plugging into factory ports located inside the rear cargo area of the vehicle. Once the connections are made, you will just need to run the hot lead up... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt cargo carrier part # C18145 will fit and work well in the Curt hitch part # C13381 installed on a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan like you have. view full answer...
I can help you wire up your 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan to have a versatile trailer connector.
Since you are not needing the reverse lights connected, then you will only really need a 4-/7-way plug. Because of this I would instead recommend you go with the Tekonsha ZCI harness # 119125KIT. This Tekonsha kit also comes with a circuit tester, and has a slightly higher amp capacity over the Hopkins harness.
To adapt a 4-way to a 7-way, I would recommend the universal installation kit # ETBC7.... view full answer...
