Thule AeroBlade Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen

Today, on our 2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen, we'll be test fitting the Thule Aeroblade Crossroad Roof Rack System, using part numbers THARB47 and TH450R. With our vehicle already equipped with the factory roof rails and our load bars already pre-assembled, we're going to go ahead and fit them to the vehicle. We'll begin by setting the front load bar on top of the vehicle. We need to go ahead and center it from left to right to ensure that the triangles on each foot are over the side rails. You do need to make sure that your load bar is square. To do this, find a fixed point on the side rails and measure to the foot with a tape measure.



Thule Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen

Today on this 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagon, we'll be installing a Thule Crossroads Roof Rack System. We already have our crossbar assemblies put together so we're ready to mount them up on the factory rate side rails. First, we're going to set the front crossbar into position. We're going to make sure that the bar is overhanging the feet evenly on both sides of the rack. We also need to make sure that the bar is running perpendicular to factory rate side rails so we're going to find a fixed point on our side rails and measure to the edge of the Crossroads to make sure that we're even on both sides so that we know that we're running perpendicular. One the side of the Crossroad feet, there's a small triangle that indicates the center of the foot and we want to make sure that that's pointed towards the center of our factory rate side rails.



Yakima RailGrab Roof Rack Installation - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen

Today on this 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sports Wagon, were going to do a tests fit of the Yakima Rail Grab Roof Rack. This will work with all models of the factory installed rails that run from front to back. We have our rail grab bars already assembled so well go ahead and place them unto the factory roof rack. With everything loose well slide it in place unto the crossbar and make sure its even on both sides. The position of the rail grab will vary with the accessories that you are using so you want to check how much your factory roof rack can carry and what the maximum crossbar spread should be. Once we help it into place with the first cross rail, we can go ahead and tighten it down.We will start with the black and we will finish with the silver one.



Thule AeroBlade Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen

Today on this 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagon, we're going to be installing a Thule Crossroad and AeroBlade Roof Rack System. We already have our crossbar assemblies put together and now we're ready to mount them up on our vehicle. First, we're going to install the crossbar assemblies up on top of our factory raised side rails. The Crossroad fit has a rubber coated steel band that's going to wrap around our factory raised side rails to secure a new system. Once we've laid the crossbar assembly up on top of our side rails, we need to check to make sure it's positioned correctly. We want to make sure that the overhang on either side of the Crossroad foot is even and we also want to make sure that our AeroBlade bar is running perpendicular to our factory raised side rails.



Rhino Rack SXB Roof Rack Installation - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen

Today on this 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagon we will be installing a Rhino-Rack Roof Rack, part number SXB3. We already have our cross mounts put together, and we are ready to mount them up on top of our vehicle. This system is designed to attach to our factory raised side rails so there is not specific cross bar spread that we need to setup for. However, you may want to check the owners manual or the instructions for whatever accessories you will be using to see if they have a required cross bar spread. You need to make sure that the Rhino Rack cross bars run perpendicular to our factory raised side rails. To do this we will find a fixed point on the side rails and measure from there to the end of the clamp on the bottom of our Rhino Rack bar.

Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Roof Rack Questions and Answers


  • Are 50 Inch Long Thule Load Bars the Right Length for a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
  • The 50 inch load bars that come with the Thule Crossroad roof rack, # TH45050, are the recommended length for your 2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. Had the bars been too long you could cut them shorter provided the cut was straight up and down so the end caps will fit.

  • Will Inno Surfboard Carrier Fit Whispbar Roof Rack Crossbars on a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
  • I checked out the Inno Boardlocker to get a sense of how it installed to a roof rack. It looks like many other systems that have feet that fit around the crossbars. To determine if this carrier will fit the Whispbars, # WB-S53. you will need to measure how wide and tall of a bar will fit in the Inno mounts. If they will accept a bar that is at least 3-5/8 inches wide and 1 inch tall then the Boardlocker will fit. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

  • Roof Rack for a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen with Panoramic Sun Roof
  • The Rhino-Rack roof rack # SXB3 does fit the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen as long as it has factory side rails that run front to back. I do not recommend opening the panoramic sun roof as there could be interference. It may be possible to move the bars to places along the rails that will allow you to open it but you will need to determine that with the bars on the actual vehicle. We have installed this system on a 2010, see video link, but not on a 2013 so we have not determined clearanc

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2011 VW Jetta SportWagen TDI to Carry Two Kayaks
  • The crossbars from the Rola Sport Series Roof Rack, # 59820, will sit slightly lower than the tops of the factory side rails on your 2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI. If you lie a flat object on the rails across the vehicle then measure from the center of the roof up to the bottom of the object, that will give you a really good estimate of where the bottoms of the bars will be. Then open the sun roof and again measure without the object on the rails to see how far up the glass comes. If i

  • Compatibility of Yamima FrontLoader With Rhino Rack SXB Crossbars on 2012 VW Jetta Sportwagen
  • The Rhino Rack Crossbars measure 3-1/2 inches wide by 1-1/2 inches tall. Yakima tells me that their FrontLoader roof mounted bike rack will accommodate a crossbar with those dimensions. You will also need to make sure that there is at least 1-1/2 inches of clearance under the crossbar in order for the attachment hardware of the FrontLoader to clear the roof of your Jetta SportWagen. I have linked you to the instructions for the FrontLoader Bike Rack as well as an install video and instruct

If you lie a flat object on the rails across the vehicle then measure from the center of the roof up to the bottom of the object, that will give you a really good estimate of where the bottoms of the bars will be.

  • Will the X Cargo Sport 20 Fit on the Rhino-Rack SXB3 Roof Rack on a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
  • I did some research on the X Cargo Sport 20 and based on the dimensions of the cargo box, it will fit on the Rhino-Rack SXB Roof Rack, # SXB3. This cargo box uses a u bolt mounting system that will attach to most factory and aftermarket roof racks. We offer a similar cargo box which is the SportRack Explorer Cargo Box, # A90095, that is made by the same manufacturer that will fit on this roof rack and also uses the u bolt mounting kit. I have attached a review video of this cargo box for you

  • Can 53 inch Long Rhino-Rack Aero Crossbars be Used on a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
  • We do have a roof rack for the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen that has 56 inch bars. Take a look at the SportRack system, # A21009N. In addition to having the longest bars available out of the systems for your vehicle, it is also more economically priced. For 53 inch Rhino-Rack bars, you would use # SXB7. This system and SXB3 have a 165 pound capacity. The SportRack system has a 30 pound capacity. You are also going to want to check the capacity of the factory rails and the roof of your ve

  • Will Installing Rhino Rack SXB3-SILV Cross Bars On 2012 VW Jetta SportWagen Interfere with Sunroof
  • I spoke with my contacts at Rhino Rack regarding your question about the crossbar system interfering with your sunroof. I was told that because the side rails on your SportWagen extend the full length of the vehicle roof, that the crossbars can be moved around so that they will not interfere. They tell me it would be safe to assume that the bars would interfere if they are placed directly over the sun roof. The bottom of the cross bars will sit about 3/4 of an inch above the top of your side

Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Roof Bike Racks Questions and Answers


  • 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

  • What you would need in order to mount your Thule Big Mouth Roof Bike Rack, part # TH599XTR, to your 2010 Volkswagen Jetta is a Thule Ride-On Adapter, part # TH532.

  • Will the Thule Criterium Bike Rack Work on a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen
  • There are two options for using your Criterium bike racks, item # TH598, on your 2011 VW Jetta Sportwagen. I would recommend going with the Thule Complete Crossroad Kit with 50 inch Long Bars, item # TH45050, to attach to the factory side rails on your Jetta. You can then attach the Criterium bike racks to the Thule cross bars. The next option is to purchase the VW cross bars for your vehicle and use the Thule Ride On adapter,item # TH532, to attach your Criterium bike racks to. The ride o

  • Roof Rack and Roof Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen
  • For a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen with side rails that run front to back, you will need to add cross bars that run side to side in order to install a roof mount bike rack. I recommend the Thule Rapid Aero bars because they are strong, sturdy, light weight, and their design cuts down on wind noise. You will need Thule Rapid Aero Crossroad Roof Mounted Railing Foot Pack, # TH450R, and Thule AeroBlade Aluminum Load Bars, # THARB47. You will then be able to use the Thule Echelon Roof Mounted
