Carrying 2 Bikes on the Roof and 2 Bikes on the Back of a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
The 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen is not a very wide car so getting 4 bikes onto the roof might prove to be difficult and they might not fit. You might also exceed the roof weight carrying capacity with 4 bikes loaded. If it were me, I would use a combination of roof mount bike racks and a trunk mount bike rack and basically carry two on the top and two on the back. If your Jetta does not have crossbars that run side to side on the roof but does have side rails that run front to back, you
