Compatible Cargo Boxes for Rhino-Rack Roof Rack on a 2016 Volkswagen Golf
Question:
I have a 2016 4dr VW Golf R hatchback with a naked roof. I think I am going to purchase the Rhino Rack Vortex bars for my car but I would like to know what cargo boxes are compatible. Ideally I would like something not much longer than 6ft but that still has ample storage space. Can you tell me which boxes will fit this setup? Thanks

There are numerous cargo boxes that are compatible with Rhino-Rack roof rack # RR23QR for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf R. For a box that has the most space and can fit the roof rack you can use Thule Motion XT # TH629906. This is a massive 22 cubic foot box that has internal dimensions of 84-1/2" long x 33" wide x 16" tall.
The next step down in size is Thule Force XT Sport Item # TH6356B. This box has less space, 11 cubic feet, but it is longer at 74-3/4 inches.
And the next size down from there is Malone Cargo12 Rooftop Cargo Box - 12 cu ft - High Gloss Gray Item # MPG901 which is a 12 cubic foot box that is 55-1/8 inches long.
With all of these options, you will be able to fully open your trunk with the boxes installed.
