Will the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 fit a 2012 VW Jetta

Question:

Would this rack work for a 2012 VW Jetta? I know it will work for another vehicle of mine 2007 Toyota Sienna with spoiler so I just want to make sure. I believe I saw some info that said it might put too much pressure on the number. Any info would be helpful before I make a purchase. Thanks!

Yes, I checked with Hollywood Racks and the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2012 VW Jetta. Hollywood Racks does mention that your vehicle has a soft bumper so heavier bikes may cause the bumper to disfigure. That is something to keep in mind.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar
# HRBA-PRO to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
