    Loud beeping when indicating with towbar bike carrier

    I just got myself a new tow bar and bike carrier on my 2019 T6 highline. Is there anyway of disabling the super loud beeping noise when indicating or at least reducing the volume? I guess it is a reminder if you got a trailer attached but does it have to be so loud!!

    Buzz Rack tow bar bike rack

    I need a bike rack for two bikes very occasional use. I have a tow bar and have been considering the Buzz Rack Moose or Buffalo racks. Is anyone aware if they tilt enough to allow the tailgate to open? (I know that Altera and Thule have racks which would suit but unfortunately my budget won't suit)

    Bike rack advice - tailgate or towbar?

    I am making a trip in my T6 tailgate van in the spring and would like to take two bikes. It is unlikely that I shall have a need to take bikes for the rest of the year so am reluctant to purchase a new rack. I could try to purchase a second hand one but as they always seem to be collection only...

    Found Barn door bike rack (fiamma type).

    I'm looking into modifying a bike rack to fit my barn doors with spoiler. Anyone got an old/used/scruffy fiamma type one they want rid of as it will most likely get chopped/modified and powder coated black? Cheers.

    Electric Tail Gate Override For Bike Rack?

    I have a towbar bike rack but the electric boot won’t function with it fitted, I presume this is a safety feature so it won’t hit the bike rack. Is it safe to manually open and close it? It feels wrong to push against the motor when pushing it closed.
