Expert Reply:

It'll depend on how the fork mount attaches to the crossbar. If it's meant to fit into the slot on top of the crossbar, it should fit. If the bike rack is meant to fit around the crossbar, it would be harder to say, as we don't carry that bike rack and I cannot test it.

A Rhino Rack Vortex Aero crossbar measures 3-1/8 inches wide by 1-3/16 inches wide. You'd need to measure to ensure your VW bike rack would accommodate a crossbar of those dimensions.
