Looking to mount a bike rack to the back of my TDI Volkswagen Sportswagen and havent really seen anything other than roof racks. Would this work?

Expert Reply:

The Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier, # TH45JV, will work on your TDI Volkswagen SportWagen if it is a 2009-2011 Jetta SportWagen TDI clean diesel. If you have a different vehicle or a different year model then let me know and I can make a recommendation, or you can use our year-make-model fitguide, see link, to determine the correct trunk mount bike racks for your specific vehicle. We have a video review of the OutWay bike rack for you to review, see link.

Along with the OutWay rack you may need an adapter bar, # TH982XT, if you plan to carry women's, children's or other alternative frame bikes. I have posted a video review of the adapter bar for you, see link.
