Tiguan MK2 Roof Racks

[petebalf]

Old thread, but relevant.
I have a 2018 Tiguan with sunroof.
Also have the OEM VW roofracks.
I'm looking at getting a roof pod at some time, and am wondering about how the pods like Thule and their fastening systems work with the OEM racks, and if they do, is clearance still ok to an open sunroof?
Also open to others like Rhino etc, and their ability to work with OEM roof racks..

Any thoughts?
regards
Peter.

We have a MY22 Tiguan with sunroof and Rhino Rack roof bars + roof *basket*. See: Tiguan MK2 Roof Racks

The sunroof operates fine with the basket installed using the supplied u-bolts. I can only imagine that a pod would attach in a similar way and not impede the sunroof - though you obviously want to confirm this when choosing a pod.

We originally wanted a pod, but it wouldn't have made it past our garage door. We ended up going with the roof basket and getting a waterproof bag.
