Will The Yakima Highroad Bike Rack Fir The Factory Crossbars On 2010 VW GTI?

Question

I confirmed with Yakima that the Yakima High Road Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp-On # Y02114 will fit the factory crossbars on your 2010 Volkswagen GTI without an issue. I recommend adding Yakima SKS Lock Cores # Y07202 to secure the bike and bike rack to your roof. I attached a couple demonstration videos for you to check out.
