Hey James, thanks for reaching out. The Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 will fit virtually any crossbar that does not exceed 1-1/2" tall and 3" wide. I wasn't able to find the exact dimensions of the OEM VW Base Carrier Bars 17A071126A listed anywhere online, so I'd definitely suggest measuring them before ordering. As long as the crossbars aren't more than 3" wide and 1-1/2" tall you'll be good to go.
What kind of bike will you be carrying?

Greetings! We have a luggage rack atop of our pop-up trailer. Since the camper is hitched to the car we were wondering how this rack would work on the camper. Results … it works like a charm. We had no problem pulling the camper with two bikes on top. This made the trip very easy. M&D
