Hmmm. Stuck on these two bike racks.
my needs,
- Obviously robust and good quality
- easy on and off.
- good weight capacity for at least 3 bikes, possibly 2 electric in future.
- ability to mount box or bag if needed
- tilt / slide option to be able to open tailgate without bikes or rack...
What are the general thoughts around bike carriers? I want to be able to transport 4 bikes, am I best going for the VW Gen type one that mounts to the roof or are tow bar type ones better.
Id like to be able to have a spoiler on the roof which is why I am thinking of the tow bar one however I’m...
Hi,
I've taken apart my T6 bike rack and had to drill out some rivets so does anyone know the right size per chance? Ideally original VW ones or at least the right size and in black...
Also, there was some damage to one of the clips that holds one half - Can't see it being an issue but while...
So just picked the Van up from having a Thule Omnistor fitted
Heres the problem, I asked for a 4900 to be fitted and have got home to realise its the 5200 that's been fitted.
What would be your thoughts on this, have a got the better model or not.
I prefer the look of the 4900 and the...
Afternoon all
I have a standard rain gutter and trying to find out how a Thule Omnistor 4900 awning fixes to the van ?
has anyone been able to use the holes in the gutter with a bracket , I'd prefer not to screw into the body work ...I currently have Thule aero bars on and I've 2 spare holes...
Hello
Has anyone got a Thule backup cargo box or similar? I’m thinking that we may need one for our camper but also looking to get a T5 style bike rack and wondered how well they fit together. I have found some photos online and it looks like they will fit but the box won’t open with bikes on...
The awning of my VW Multivan T6 camper is damaged. I need to replace one springarm and one endplate.
A sticker inside my awnings identifies it as a Thule product. So, VW actually installes Thule awnings on its T6 vans. However, VW doesn't sell parts for the awning. One can only purchase a...
Bought an Omnistor 5102 yesterday, I have made some brackets to allow me to fit it over my garage door so I have dual use when it's not on the van.
First time putting it out I was very worried I was going to snap the leg lock levers off as they were very stiff, however they have become a bit...
Looking to add a Thule awning to our T6 Kombi van & not sure which model is best: 4900 or 5102?
Also do i need to buy a separate adapter/fitting kit?
Also the van has a roof rail as in pics is this a problem for fitting.
Any advice would be great. Andy
We have a T6 and I'll be honest - It's a huge faff loading 4 bikes onto our Fiamma tailgate mounted bike carrier.... and then it takes the strength of 7 people to open the boot. I'm thinking of fitting a towbar and getting a Thule 927 tiltable bike carrier (we're keeping the T6 for ever :-) so...
Really new here... posted this originally in ‘wheels and tyres’
hi guys, new on here so apologies if this has been covered already. I need a roof rack system for my t6 swb Kombi. As it’s black I want a black set plus some that aren’t too big. Thule do the new wing bar evo which is both slimline...
Hi all, first time I've posted on here so hopefully I've gone about it the right way!
Anyways, looking forward to a second Spring/Summer camping in the bus with the wife and kids. Looking at making some tweaks to our setup though. I'm considering removing the Thule Omnistor as I've found it to...
Thule 135cm Wingbar Evo 135cm with foot pack and fitting kit. From my VW T6 van, use twice as new. Cost £245 will accept £150, can deliver locally West Yorkshire area for the cost of fuel or collect in person.
This is my first post and cry for help so be gentle :)
I have a 17 plate T6 and i have bought the above awning that came with the brackets of course and they are the right ones as far as i can see.
But i dont have a rail on my roof although there is a chanel for one that the barkets bolt onto...
What's everyone's thoughts on the Thule Omnistor 5120 awning? I'm thinking about hitting the big red button on one...... (currently touring, Northern Italy right now, 38 degrees!!! )
Just bought a Omistor awning to fit with my California awning rail and SCA roof.
I have the Cali brackets and understand the need to alter the rear angle.
What is the best way of securing them, ideally without bonding should I decide to remove.
Would rivnut fitting be strong enough?
Anyone got a view, ie pro's and cons of having an awning fitted.....probably a Fiamma F45? Presumably, this means having bodywork drilled......which makes me nervous?!
Not exactly a mod but my Thule Wingbars arrived today; so much nicer than my old Thule bars for my T5.1; much lower profile (the old ones looked like they were on stilts) and easier to stick accessories like a bike carrier onto.
Unexciting but useful.
Assembled them but not stuck them on yet.
