Helpful Expert Reply:

Yes, the Yakima FullBack trunk mount bike carrier # Y02634 is a fit for your 2004 V-Dub Beetle (but it will not fit convertible models).

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
