Greetings, I am giving these items 3? Because I was offered alternative products that did not fit together. Originally, I intended to purchase a roof rack cargo basket type and a spare tire holder from Yakima manufacturer that go well together, but one of them wasn’t in stock. So, after 3 weeks waiting time, I was offered alternative items via etrailer website, and I accepted them…after all, they are the experts. I got the recommended items through UPS, then I assembled them by myself. The roof rack cargo basket fit well on my car, but the spare tire holder was not compatible with the roof rack cargo basket. They couldn’t be assembled together. I submitted my claim to return the spare tire holder. Now, I have not achieved my goal to carry my spare tire. Understanding the needs and expectations of your customers is critical to maximize customer satisfaction. I am sure both products are good, but they are not compatible together, even though they were manufactured by the same company. Distributors should know better! I returned one item and I hope to be refunded.

Great product. Easily puts together and I was able to install on our 2016 Toyota Highlander OEM roof rails with no problems. The mounting brackets slide to make for a easy fit. Have taken it on two long road trips with zero issues last summer one to the montains and one to the beach. Was able to fit our jogging stroller on in the basket. Had some heavy rain on one trip and seen no signs of water getting into the rails as that was a concern of mine when researching the different racks. The high sides allowed for easy tie downs for the weather bag we put the stroller in. Seemed to add a little road noise with nothing in it but that is to be expected when hauling things on the roof but the wind deflector seemed to keep the noise down. Easy to put on and off with a single person able to lift it. Great product, great fit for the car. Plan on using it for some more upcoming trips.

I am very pleased with the quality for the price.Just the right size for my 2017 Chevy Trax.the "U" bolts that are used to clamp the basket to the roof cross bars were a bit long so I cut them shorter & installed rubber caps on top of each stud. This keeps the studs from damaging items in the bssket.See pictures.

Yakima Roof Basket Review - 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan
Hey, everybody, welcome to etrailer.com. I'm Bobby, and today we're taking a look at the Yakima OffGrid roof cargo basket here today on our 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan. Now guys, I think the OffGrid is definitely an awesome-looking cargo basket. Yakima, always kind of designing with style in mind, of course, not only with style though, that also gives you a lot of great little contact points. That's gonna be awesome for your cam buckle or racket strap systems to go ahead and start securing all the cargo that we might wanna throw up on here. As you guys are seeing, it's pretty much taking up the entire roof of the Tiguan, that means you're gonna have no trouble fitting almost everything you need on here.
Curt Roof Basket Review - 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan
Hey, everybody, welcome to etrailer.com. I'm Bobby, and today we're taking a look at the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket here today on our 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan. Now guys, it's gonna be a pretty decent way of giving yourself just a little bit of cargo on the top of your roof. Of course, this is gonna be great for your coolers, your dry bags, anything you might need to get up on here. One thing, they've been great about it too, this can be awesome for sports teams. So if you do find yourself bringing the kiddo to the games a lot, and you're having that kinda foul, smelly bag that always kinda happens, it can be nice to go ahead just toss that guy up on here, that way we don't have it in the back of the hatch.

Volkswagen Tiguan Cargo Carriers Questions
- If there is no specific spacing instructions for your crossbars then the rule of thumb is to place your bars between 24" and 36" apart measured from the same position on each crossbar. Doing this will ensure that you have the optimal spacing for the maximum stability.
Also, as far as fitting your Plano Sportsman Trunk on your roof, you'd need to use a platform rack like the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB02 however with that trunk being so deep you're still...
view full answer... - The Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH711220 and part # TH710401 is what I recommend for a 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan with factory raised side rails.

It will then allow you to use pretty much any rooftop basket such as the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket part # RMCB02 which is a great option.

Your crossbar spread must be between 20 inches and 37 inches center to center, most setups are in this range but you can easily meausure. When any load is placed in the cargo basket you may see some sag and may require more room.

view full answer... - Roof rack manufacturers universal agree that you should not open the panoramic roof on your 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan with the crossbars installed. The issue is that the open roof could make contact with the bottoms of the bars and damage the roof and the bars. Also, the noise would likely be too much and you'd want it closed anyway.
With that said on the Rhino-Rack roof rack bars # RRVA118B-2 and feet # RRSX022 the bottoms of the bars will be approximately 1 inch up from the...
