Question:

Hi, I am looking to add a set of crossbars to my new 2023 VW Tiguan. It has the lifted rails on the side of the roof but nothing else.

Congrats on the new SUV! To add a set of crossbars to your 2023 VW Tiguan's side rails, you will want the roof rack by Rhino-Rack which includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA126B-2

Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # RRSX100

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The included locks will help to prevent theft and the rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.

I have linked a couple of pictures, along with a video, that will show you what this system will look like when installed on your Tiguan.
