2021 Volkswagen Golf Thule Gateway Pro 3 Installation  

Question:

The Thule Gateway Pro 3, part # TH78VR, should fit your vehicle. You will have to open the hatch to get the hooks in place where the roof and hatch door meet and also at the bottom of the door. Once the hooks are in place you should be able to tighten them to secure the rack to your vehicle. You should not have to use any force to get this rack to fit. I have include link below that goes into installation detail.

I believe the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms, part # SA803, will be a better fit. You will have to pick up the Hatch Huggers for Saris Trunk Mount Bike Racks, part # SA3035, for this fit to work with your Volkswagen Golf. The Hatch Huggers, per Saris, will replace the side straps on your rack eliminating the tricky clip fit on the side of your hatch door. You will have to open the hatch to get the top clips to fit and the bottom feet of the rack will rest on your bumper in this fit. I have included product links and video review links below.
