Bike Rack Recommendation for 2012 Audi A5 Cabriolet and 2014 Volkswagen CC
Question:
We have a 2012 Audi A5 Cabriolet and a 2014 Volkswagen CC. Is there a truck rack you recommend that would fit both? Thank you

There is a solution that will allow you to carry bikes with your 2012 Audi A5 Cabriolet and 2014 Volkswagen CC but since there are no trunk racks that fit the cabriolet Audis that isn't a route I can recommend. You will need to go with a hitch mounted option. Which for the Audi will require the part # C11188 for if you have dual mufflers or part # C11037 for if you have a single muffler.
Then for a hitch for the 2014 Volkswagen CC you would need the Curt part # C11091.
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 guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.
