Hi, I have this bike rack and am looking to get it powder coated. Does anyone have experience of taking apart/getting all the plastic off? ..and then back on again. will i need any special tools for the job?

Hi. I would like to put a towbar on my T6 and will only be fitting a bike rack so it’s extremely unlikely I will actually tow anything. Should I go for universal wiring loom or dedicated loom with trailer prep. If I fit trailer prep with coding will it effect the van unnecessary when bike rack...

Hi, I have a tailgate mounted Thule Wandaway bike rack for 2 cycles. I think it is brilliant and would definitely recommend it. However, the 2 cycles we have are e-bikes which are quite heavy. Lifting on is not such a problem but putting them back after a strenuous ride is not so easy! Folding...

Hi, i’m intending on fitting a reversing camera and will have a towbar bike rack in the future. I was thinking of getting a tailgate reverse light with camera inbuilt. Anyone done this and can you see over the bikes? If so any recommendations on manufacturers, can only find an MZOrange one...

GLWS - it’s a pity the locking bars are missing. There are three that attach to the rack and a fourth one that locks the last bike to a locked bike. I’d be tempted otherwise. I presume this is the T6 variant as they are different from the T5

I didn’t do any conversion so far. Only kitchen and bike rack. I sleep in the roof tent. ;)

Hi Deandubya. I've agreed a sale on the awning today, but to answer you question and help your search the Fiamma rear awning sits on top of the open tailgate, either with or without a bike rack mounted to the tailgate (i.e. there is extra material to accommodate a bike rack if you have one.

Hey all, new here :waving: I've been looking for a van that will allow me to seat 4 plus have 2 full size motocross bikes in the back. A tall order it seems...! But I think the T6 LWB may allow me to do this? If anyone has any pics or can confirm the above would work that would be fantastic...

Thanks. That didn't come up on my search because i was only using bike rack not bike carrier!

We have recently bought a new to us T6.1 and had the dealership fitted an OEM bike rack. We have noticed that the two longer attaching arms are a lot looser than the shorter two. When the tailgate opens they fall and touch the rear window. If I forget and not put them back they stop the rear...

We have a Tow Trust detachable towbar, only ever used for a Thule bike rack and a BakRak spare wheel carrier on the longer treks. Highly recommended.

Hi Gary, Thanks for posting this. I am specifically looking for a VW OEM bike rack, to modify into a spare wheel carrier. The kit for this is designed for a VW OEM bike rack only. Good luck with your sale.

I think you're missing my point somewhat. You don't need to be tooled up to steal a bike/bikes off these racks in less than 30 seconds, because they're not actually secured to anything. By engaging the rack locks you might as well be locking the bike to itself. As you said yourself above, undo...

Has anyone had a full size roof rack fitted and care to give some opinions? There's a couple of options that I can find, without spending a small fortune: Flat Dog UK rack - £870 Inc fitting https://www.flatdoguk.com/volkswagen%2Dt5%2D%2F%2Dt6%2Dfd%2Drax%2D%2D%2Dswb%7E3416 Front Runner slim...

We travelled with our bikes packed in the van last month, it worked but it was not a great solution. We were at the NEC yesterday for the caravan and motorhome show and had the opportunity to test our estarli folding e bikes on a Thule Wanderway bike rack - unfortunately the test van didn't have...

The rack lies flat with the bikes on - it does not hold the bike up, so they rest directly on the ground which needs a bit of care. I have about 200mm between the bumper and the rack to walk around in - so I get the ability to get things in and out but it's tight. The rack sits about 350mm out...

Is this just on the tailgate mounted Thule 4 bike rack? And then in theory, you could get another 3 small bikes below on a row at hitch rack? Or is that just asking for too much

Hello Quirky, we too have this dilemma. Our T6 is 7 years old and we killed our old Thule on our last trip to South Australia. I searched and found your query - you didn’t really get any definitive answer. Did you end up buying a bike rack that you are happy with? We are looking at the Yakima LX...

Hi, First post so go easy. I have lots of questions and not sure whether to post all separately or just as one? Just read some of the Hints and Tips thread and the don’t buy anything till you need it seems so true. Like a kid in a sweetie shop, want everything and want it now! Priority...
