Overall I am happy with these bike carriers. They mount to the racks over the bed of my Tundra TRD Pro. Installation is simple. I think they could be just a bit sturdier because there is just a bit of wobbling when driving on bumpy roads but I'm not too worried about them coming dislodged. Take note that although they come with a cable lock to attach the bike to the carrier, the key is sold separately.

Very good product. It holds the bike securely on the roof without contacting the frame. It is easy to adjust from my road bike to my 29er mountain bike. Our drives are all relatively short, so I like that I do not need to remove the front wheel to lock in the bike. It's also nice that the SKS locking system allows me to use the same key for this rack that I use for my Yakima roof box and hitch rack. This is my first roof rack and I chose this route for a couple reasons. Some of the roads we travel to get to our trail heads are a bit rough and with a roof rack I don't have to worry about bottoming out a hitch rack hanging off the back of the vehicle. Also, it takes up less room in the garage. Our vehicle is a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with an additional 4 inches of ground clearance. That makes it a bit of a reach for my 5'4" wife, so we take our two-step along to help her. This is my third time purchasing from etrailer, and each experience has been very good. They are a very customer service oriented company. I really appreciate all the additional information they provide on their products, especially all the videos they produce to aid in reviews, assembly, and use.

Excellent and prompt customer service! When I first ordered my product it wasn’t in stock— staff were quick to let me know and offered me comparable products. I ended up waiting for my original order and shipping quick and they stayed in touch with ideas! Thule: The instructions could be a little more detailed. I ended up watching YouTube videos to help me instal. Overall it was easy, and this was the first rack I’ve ever installed and I did it by myself! I was surprised to learn the bike rack is in no way secured inside your vehicle, so.. I store it in my garage when it’s on.

Positive: The product is well thought out and works for a wide range of automotive vehicles. It comes with interesting dampers that i think work. Instructions seem to be translated from another language, but are quite good, accompanying pictures make installation straightforward. A test drive over speed bumps shows that the rack will support the bike for all travel needs. It can be disassembled , collapsed and stored in the trunk. Downside: The rack is made for the classic triangular shaped frame: horizontal cross bar, "male" bike. For bikes without the horizontal bar, mounting is a little less satisfactory. Such a bike can only be mounted on the outside mounts. Cannot use the damper on one side. Picture shows the mounting. as to a design solution, maybe brackets could be replaced with smaller profile, some adjustability? however, as it is, vibration control is good and adjustability with smaller profile would have vibration concerns.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon Bike Rack Questions
- So the answers you are referencing are referring to a VW Golf Sportwagen, not a Golf Wagon; this is a different vehicle that debuted in 2015 and has a 2 inch hitch receiver available. Your 2014 VW Golf cannot carry four bikes with a hitch mounted rack, because it only has a Class I hitch available, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11474.
This will allow you to use a 2-bike rack only that is compatible with a Class I hitch, the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR.
Then...
view full answer... - So there's a couple things to go over here, starting with the hitch for your 2014 Volkswagen Golf Wagon. This vehicle only has a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver available, the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11474.
And with a Class I hitch, you can't use a 4-bike rack, they are limited to 2-bike racks only due to the stress and torque put on the hitch and frame. That means you can use the Destination, but not the 4-bike # HR4000; the one you would need that is compatible with...
view full answer... - If your 2013 Volkswagen Golf Wagon has either round, square or factory crossbars, the Yakima Front Loader Roof Mount Bike Rack # Y02103 will work for you.
If you need a roof rack for your vehicle, providing you have factory installed rails that run front to back, I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack. To order this set you will need the Thule WingBars, part # TH711200 for silver or # TH711220 for black, and the The Evo raised rail feet, part # TH710401.
view full answer... - According to my research the Golf Wagon was a Canada released Volkswagen model between 2010-2014.
The following rear mounted bike racks will be a fit for your 2012 Golf Wagon:
# TH65JV
# TH45JV
# TH56BV
All of the racks will include locks and allow you to lock your bike to the rack as well as the rack to the vehicle.
If you happen to have an alternative framed bike like many women's bikes do then you will need the use of an adapter bar like # TH982XT for the bikes...

What our customers are saying:
"Sent out an e-mail to you earlier this week asking which hitch woudld be the best choice for installing on a 2000 Venture van for hauling a bike rack with two bikes. You suggested the one that would be easiest to install..received in a matter of days..installation went great ..very well thought out instructions. Everything went smooothly and the hitch is up nice and snug..doesn't stick out..looks great."
