Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a VW Eos Sport Convertible

Updated 05/27/2014 | Published 05/25/2014

Question:

I have looked at the above product and need to know if this will be suitable for my car and are any other accessories required. Ladies bike, and I do have a removable crossbar for the horizontal fit onto the rack. Many thanks

For a 2 bike hitch rack that will work on your Volkswagen Eos, I would recommend the Swagman XTC-2 Platform Bike Rack, part # S64670. This platform style bike rack has a center post that can be lowered down and out of the way of the trunk lid, so when the trunk lid opens for the convertible hardtop to slide into the trunk, it will not interfere with the bike rack. I am including a link to a video of the Swagman bike rack and it will demonstrate how the center post can be lowered.

I attached an FAQ on hitch classifications for you to check out also.
