Has anyone fitted a factory (Westfalia) towbar recently?

My 2018 135TDI was fitted with the VW towbar, but it's not the swing-up towball jobbie the Europeans get. Can I help you?

Following on from a previous query, the sun-roof on the 135TDI does let a lot of heat into the car, so much so that my wife refused to ride in it on a hot day until I fixed it. I suggested that I could probably swap it for an Audi Allroad without a sunroof for about another $30,000, but she wasn't too interested. A happy compromise was reached by cutting up one of those silver covered pleated sun shields you can get for $20 from Super Cheap, and sliding it between the sunroof and the sunblind, with the pleats running lengthwise to give the sun shield a bit of stiffness. I left about 20mm hanging out of the front into the cabin to assist with fitting and removal. It works pretty well, and the Missus is happy.

Thanks but I am after information on the proper VW factory towbar. The one they sell here is a "Betta" from NZ.
