Question:
will this system work on 2003 vw beetle
asked by: Steve E
Expert Reply:
Yes, you will be able to install the Yakima 48 Inch Crossbars, part # Y00408, but you will need to install the complete Yakima roof rack. You will need the Yakima Q123 Q Clips, part # Y00723, the Yakima Q98 Q Clips, part # Y00698, the Yakima Q Towers, part # Y00124 and the Yakima Q Stretch Kit, part # Y00134. All the above parts will install on the bare roof of your 2003 Volkswagen Beetle.
You will want to check the owners manual of your vehicle for the load capacity of your roof as you will not want to exceed it.
I have linked a video review of the Yakima roof rack system. I have also linked an FAQ on roof racks.
