Aero-Style Roof Rack for 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan with Moonroof

Question:

Hi I am looking for a roof rack system that can fit on my 2013 vw Tiguan with naked roof and a moon roof. I would like to still be able to use the moonroof and keep the roofrack on at all times. Could you tell me what complete system would work?

We have lots of choices for a roof rack for your 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan that has a naked roof and moon roof feature and you can see all of them on the linked page.

In general people find that the noise created by any roof rack tends to make it a better idea to keep the moon roof closed. Some racks do allow the moon roof to open but the items you might choose to mount to a roof rack, such as a bike or cargo carrier, could interfere with the opening/closing of the moon roof so it really is best to keep it closed.

For a rack that will be quieter than most I suggest an aero bar type rack like the Rhino-Rack Vortex system made of parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK342. This rack has black bars, but if you prefer silver just substitute part # RRVA137S-2.
