Will 2 Thule Hull-a-Port Kayak Carriers Fit on a 2011 VW Tiguan with Factory Cross Bars

Question:

We are wanting to fit two fishing kayaks onto our 2011 VW Tiguan factory roof rack and cross bars can hold up to 250 lbs...looking for the best racks for a 136inch 85lb kayak, and a 116inch 79lb kayak. Thank you,

In order to fit two Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carriers # TH834 on the roof of a vehicle with cross bars you will need to measure the length of the cross bars. They will need to be 50 inches for 2 carriers to fit.

I checked with Thule and this carrier will install directly to your factory cross bars.

It sounds like you have already determined what your roof capacity is and that your kayaks will weigh less than the roof capacity so you should be good to go.
