Questions from Volkswagen Golf owners about this product

• Will a Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch and Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack Fit a 2012 Volkswagen Golf TDI
  
• The Draw-Tite trailer hitch, # 24825, will fit a 2012 Volkswagen Golf TDI. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. This is a Class I trailer hitch so you will need to use Class I rated accessories. The Swagman Trailhead, # S63360, will fit a Class I trailer hitch so there are no compatibility issues there. The other important thing to consider is clearance from the hitch pin hole on the hitch, once installed, back to the distance required to clear the rear of

Questions from Volkswagen Golf owners about this product

• Benefits of Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack Part # S64670 Versus the XC Rack Part # S64650
  
• If I had to choose between the two, I would choose the XTC-2, part # S64670. Not only do the rubber straps you refer to further secure the bikes to the rack, but the wheel hoops themselves are much stronger. The rack includes a threaded hitch pin, but I would also recommend the locking hitch pin, part # S64029. With the addition of two padlocks like part # 131D, your bikes would be secured to the rack.

Questions from Volkswagen Golf owners about this product

• Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack Recommendations for 2012 Volkswagen Golf with Ground Effects
  
• If you do not want to potentially damage the ground effects on your 2012 Volkswagen Golf, a trunk-mounted rack might be your best bet. I recommend the Yakima KingJoe Pro 2 Bike Rack # Y02624 you have referenced. It is perfect for hatchbacks and attaches easily with a 6-strap system. It features an integrated anti-sway cradle system that prevents bikes from moving and making contact with each other or with your vehicle.

Volkswagen Golf Hitch Bike Racks Questions

• How Long is the Stinger on a Thule Bike Rack # TH970XT
  
• This Thule Helium Aluminum 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH970XT, has a distance of 8-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the nearest bracket on the upright portion of the carrier. This rack is the updated version of # TH970 that is no longer available. The shank on the # TH970XT is shorter than the shank on the discontinued Thule Roadway 2 Bike Carrier that has clearance of 10-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest bracket.

• Will the Yakima SuperJoe Pro 2 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2002 Volkswagen Golf
  
• The Yakima SuperJoe Pro, # Y02629, does fit the 2002 Volkswagen Golf. In addition to this bike rack, I have included a link to all of the 2 bike trunk mounted racks that will fit your Golf. The SuperJoe Pro is a good entry level bike rack. If you wanted to go up to the top tier, I recommend the Thule Raceway, # TH9001. The Raceway is the easiest and fastest bike rack to install and/or remove from a vehicle because it uses retractable cables instead of straps to mount the bike rack. I have inc
