Most Popular Brophy for 1996 Volkswagen Jetta

Very heavy duty. Will use it with a bike rack I had for another vehicle that had a 2" receiver.

So far, so good. Had to cut into the bumper if my 2011 Jetta in oder to make it work. Here is a picture.

The item was very well built and arrived quickly. The only complaint I have, is a problem I was expecting to have after reading another review, so I don't feel cheated, just a little disappointed: it doesn't really fit a 2013 Jetta Sportswagen with a U-haul branded hitch. It doesn't clear the bumper. The male part the goes into the receiver needs to be just about 1.75" longer (2.00" might be better) to clear the bumper. A suggestion would be to make the male appendage 2" longer and provide two holes so people can use either the shorter or longer extension, depending on how far out they need to go to clear the bumper. (I was able to make it work by chopping off a triangular part off the top part of the unit)

Here in Saskatoon, Canada, I am very pleased to endorse J&J's flagpole holder and hitch mount extension products. Solid construction and beautifully finished engineered pieces. Fitted easily onto my '92 Camaro RS, for Shriner parades. Supporting a worthy philanthropic effort for children.

I personally couldn't use it. But I know metal industry very well and this will work perfectly in its environment. It was just not needed and I never put it on.

I recently had a hitch installed on my car. Since the cargo carrier that I have was used previously without an adapter, I assumed that I didn't need one. Now trying to locate one was more of an effort than locating a hitch. The local auto parts stores of national brands don't keep them in stock. One store made an inquiry but didn't give me much hope. Now I can make a rode trip in confidence that the carrier will be secure as I head down the interstate.

Quality product and excellent service from etrailer.com! The Hitch Extender works well allowing me to back my boat trailer further into the deeper water.

This has worked great to reduce my 2" hitch so that I can continue to use my 1 1/4" Thule bike rack, and I like that it doesn't extend out much from the hitch. After my last trip though, the inset separated from the larger piece. I can still use it, but without the smaller piece fixed in place, I can't put it on the car first and then slide the bike rack into it since the smaller piece slides, and it's impossible to line the holes up. It's also rusted more than I expected. It wasn't inexpensive, and I was hoping it would last longer. I've used it for maybe a dozen trips.

Perfect fit BUT the inner tube broke away from the outer tube after about a dozen trips. One small weld on the outside corner is all that holds it on. The small amount of play must have been too much for it. I was even using an anti-rattle lock pin. Very disappointing due to the price point. And now it’s unsafe to use as it could slip right out of the receiver.
