Will Thule AirScreen XT Fit OEM Crossbars on a 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI

Published 02/20/2023

Question:

Hello, I have a 2022 Volkswagen GTI 5 door. I have the Volkswagen roof rack and two Thule bike racks. I think the VW bars look like the Thule wingbar edge, I’m wondering if the Thule Airscreen XT would fit on those bars?

The AirScreen XT should have no issues fitting the OEM crossbars on your 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI. I believe the 38" # TH72WV should work but I'll need to know the distance between the legs on your roof rack to make an accurate recommendation.

Please note your crossbars are a little taller than the average aftermarket so the fairing may not sit all the way down to your roof but it will be better than a big opening!
