Question:

I have a 2023 VW Arteon . It has no crossbars or rails running along the roof. I would like to add a set of crossbars to mount my bike rack but I do not want to them extend over the side of the legs. Is there a set that will work for my VW and give me enough capacity?

Expert Reply:

Yes, there is a set of crossbars that will fit the factory side rails of your 2023 VW Arteon. This mounts directly to the side of your door frame and has more than enough capacity for a bike rack. You will want the roof rack by Thule and it includes the following parts:

Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 item # TH69FE

Edge Clamp Feet for Thule Edge Crossbars - Naked Roof - Qty 4 item # TH79SC

Fit Kit for Thule Edge Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 5075 item # TH145075

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders item # TH450400 can be easily added to help prevent theft. The quickAccess T-tracks let you install your bike rack.

I have linked an installation video below and attached a couple of pictures so you can see what this roof rack looks like when installed.
