Best Roof Rack For Hauling Bikes With a 2023 VW Jetta
Question:
What is your best roof rack for carrying bikes with a 2023 VW Jetta?
asked by: Catherine
Expert Reply:
I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo as the best roof rack for your 2023 Volkswagen Jetta. You will need the Crossbars # TH711420, Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH145204 to attach this to your roof. These crossbars uses a 2 piece seal for the channel which allows you to easily add and remove accessories without the need to trim a rubber seal.
For a bike rack the Thule ProRide XT # TH598004 will secure the bike by the frame. There is no need to remove the front wheel or concern for bikes with fenders. It will fit bikes with up to a 3" wide wheel. You can add the Fat Tire Adapter # TH5981 to carry bikes with up to a 5" tire.
The Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450800 will allow you to secure the bike racks to the roof rack and the roof rack to your Jetta. You will get 8 lock cylinders that you can use with Thule One-Key accessories.
