I rarely lift it with a bike on but it’s ok with a road bike and the pop top down. It would definitely make contact between the handlebars and pop top if the roof was raised. Reimo roof for me, others may sit a little lower.
MTB handlebars, especially more modern wide ones would likely hit...
Not sure on the difference between the T5 & T6 racks, but you might be able to replace the bit that clamps onto the tailgate....

Just to throw another possible spanner in the works - make sure that you can still open the tailgate with a bike rack attached if you have a poptop. Some poptops aren't compatible with bikeracks even when closed and can be damaged, or prevent opening of the tailgate fully
Hello - I'm looking for some local help disassembling/re-assembling a VW bike rack.
I've found a place that will anodise it but beyond nuts/bolts/screws I'm a bit cack-handed with practical stuff.
Ideally looking for a local firm or person that has done this before, particularly to help with...
Hmm funny, bumped into this topic.
I was hoping to collect all these kind of questions under 1 topic, but seems like people cant find it or maybe not using the search function?
No hard feelings, i just thought it would be beneficial for everyone :)
Should we put it in a different category...
Looking to fit a swing away bike rack for two bikes on a new T6.1 4Motion camper - have been looking at three options available in Australia - from Kuat, One Up and Rocky Mounts - any relevant experience or suggestions greatly appreciated - we will be doing a lot of dirt, so need something that...
I fitted a Fiamma 2 bike rack to my barn door van over the weekend and wanted to check with others if the fitment is ok.
No issues with lopsidedness like I've seen, however the bottom bracket bolts are currently too long meaning the caps don't fit securely. Not the end of the world but it's...
Just some ideas, I've mounted a 305w rigid panel to my rack, and left a space at the side and back. The rear space is for my bag which has my chairs/table/windscreen cover/leveling ramps inside it. And the space to the side I'd use with either a vertical surfboard rack, or bike fork mount if I...
I live near the coast and salt eats everything around here. The threads on the bike rack screws have completely seized up as a result.
I've been trying to get penetrating fluid in there, but they're not budging.
Can anyone offer any advice on either: how to free them or where to source...
Has anyone found a good solution for transporting a motorbike on a towbar mounted rack? I have a removable swan neck towbar. From a search it seems there are adapters for this that work with the cheaper racks but you have to lift the bike on. Anyone have other suggestions? This would be for a...
Hello Quirky, so good of you to take photos to demonstrate the distance and the bike laying down. This makes it all very clear. Thanks to all your advise we have sourced a ISI bike rack about 30kms from where we are staying atm. I think we fluked it as it was ordered for a customer who isn’t in...
May I just ask folks who are using this bike rack if you have any issues with it when bikes are on it, lifting the tailgate and it snagging an open pop top?
If you changed the tailgate rams which ones did you buy please?
Just did a bit of googling...
The T5 bike rack is part # 7H0 071 104
The same style for the T6 is part # 7E0 071 104 B (this is the version 2 rack)
The other T6 bike rack is is part # 7E0 071 104 (this is the version 1 rack)
Got the info from here...
Hi All
I have a Thule 3 Bike rack available that mounts on the tow bar. Rarely been used.
I would want £300 (buyer collects or arranges collection) and also open to part exchange for a T6.1 Tailgate version, either 2 or 3 bike will do.
So I've recently joined the Caravelle club and the Vw 4 bike rack came with it...
7E0.071.104
Max load is 60kg, and from Google looks like max weight per bike is 17kg. Has anyone successfully used an ebike on it weighing circa 24kg?
Yeh it's 7kg over stated weight but just wondering whether...
Yeah that’s 4 just on the tailgate one. In theory you could get a few 20”s on the hitch rack too, although I vaguely recall that I had to close the tailgate and the hitch rack simultaneously to get the hitch ones to fit, and with 4 on the tailgate that is heavy, and probably not ideal for the...
