BIKE RACKS AND CARRIERS FOR CARS MEGATHREAD - all questions asked and answered here

FYI - I'm currently running 4 x "Thule Pro Ride 951" Bike Carriers on Thule Aero Bars mounted via feet to the factory roof rails on my B7 Passat Alltrack.

Prior to July this year, in Vic, you had to remove a rear mounted bike carrier if there were no bikes on it (even when parked) so the roof mounted option made the most sense for my needs. Check the legal requirements for your state and any state you are likely to travel to before committing to purchase of a bike carrier system. It shouldn't be a problem with a Tiguan but exceeding parameters such as vehicle rear overhang could render some bike carriers illegal in some states on certain vehicles.
Good call on RB - the brains trust over there are sure to have years of accumulative experience with this.
