Helpful Expert Reply:
Your 2018 VW Tiguan with roof siderails and sunroof can be fitted with several brands of Aero bar roof rack including Thule and others. You can click on the linked page to see them all.
For a rack with high weight capacity and maximum bar space I suggest the Thule WingBar system made of parts # TH711420 and # TH710401. These 53-inch bars give you a 165-lb weight capacity and a wide bar spread of 46-inches which gives stability to anything you mount on the rack. The linked video illustrates this rack.
Please note that all roof racks have the potential to interfere with operation of a sunroof. Even if it will open with the rack in place anything you install on the rack, such as a bike or cargo carrier, will use hardware that itself may interfere with the sunroof. There is also the matter of wind noise; few users will want to listen to the whistling from the items installed on the roof so it is generally just better to keep the sunroof closed with a roof rack installed.
