Will Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Cargo Basket RMCB02 Fit Thule AeroBlade Rack on 2004 VW Golf
Question:
Id like to maximize the amount of carry space on my 2004 vw gti. Im considering your Thule kit THARB47, TH480R, THKIT1050. Would the Rhino Rack Roof Cargo Carrier - RMCB02 work. I know it will fit on the vehicle as Ive measured the roof.

Expert Reply:
The Thule AeroBlade roof rack for the 2004 VW Golf, consisting of parts # TH711220, # TH480R and THKIT1051, is a correct fit for the 5-door version with no existing rails or crossbars. I have linked an install video.
The Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # RMCB02 that you referenced will fit well on this roof rack system.
A helpful accessory for use with a cargo basket is an accessory step, such as Telesteps # TE97FR. This lightweight folding step comes fully assembled and folds easily for storage in the vehicle. It can make loading and unloading your cargo basket much easier.
