Question:

Hi there, I wanted to see what type of roof rack would work for a 2013 VW CC. I want to carry 2 bikes or 2 paddle boards depending on the activity we want to do that day. Are there racks that can service both transportation needs? Cheers

First, for a roof rack system on your 2013 Volkswagen CC, I recommend the Rhino Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack. This consists of parts # RRVA126B-2 for the two 49 inch Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRRLKVA for the Crossbar Legs and # DK326 for the Custom Fit Kit. This system will provide an extremely quiet roof rack when installed with a weight capacity of 165 pounds. I have attached a video demonstration for you to check out.

For a nice transportation system for your paddleboards, I recommend looking at the Rhino-Rack SUP and Surfboard Pads # RRRWP05. These are soft foam pads that will let you safely transport your paddleboards on the roof rack crossbars. The pads wrap around the crossbars and secure with Velcro closures. It includes 2 tie-downs with rubber-coated cam buckles to secure your paddleboards and a nice storage bag for the pads when they are not in use. I have attached a video demonstration so you can see exactly how these work.

Then for a roof bike rack, I recommend the Rhino-Rack MountainTrail Rooftop Bike Carrier - Fork Mount # RBC035 or the Wheel Mount # RRRBC050. These will both attach to the roof rack crossbars and can transport one bike. I have again included videos on both of these products for you to check out.
