Parts Needed for Installation of a Roof Rack Cargo Box on a 2009 Volkswagen Passat Sedan
Question:
Im trying to find a cargo box for the top of my 2009 VW Passat 2.0T Its a sedan not a wagon and I am hoping to find a box to fit the top for all my extra kid and work stuff. I would also appreciate some input on roof racks as well. It does have a sunroof Thanks

The Thule Sidekick is recommended as a fit for your 2009 VW Passat sedan. Since you have a sunroof, you will need to be careful when opening it with any roof mount accessories, like the cargo box, installed. You may find that with some accessories you cannot open the sun roof.
The Thule WingBar Evo roof rack is a great choice for your Passat Sedan. It consists of 53 inch WingBars, # TH711400 in silver or # TH711420 for black, a Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, # TH480R, and Roof-Rack Fit Kit, # THKIT1592.
We also carry the SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box, # SR7011, which is has an even easier attachment system and can attach to either the Yakima or Thule roof rack.
I also added a link to an informational article on roof racks for you to check out.
