    Roof Pod recommendations

    Hi all, I'm looking to get a roof pod that will fit my Tiguan and have enough room to allow for a surfboard to be strapped on as well.

    Please feel free to post your recommendations.

    Do you have the roof racks on yet? When i put the Rhino Racks on a couple of years ago, my 1st thought was that they needed to be just a bit wider, maybe 50mm each way. That was just from a visual perspective at 1st, but slightly wider would be just a bit more functional as well...
    I carry an Oztent in one of those big baskets on the roof along with a stand-up paddleboard & a surfboard, it all goes on ok, though the boards have to go on leaning on the edge of the basket on one side, on a bit of an angle.

    I have a set of Rhino Whisper racks that I currently carry surfboards on. I bought them as they extend past the roof rail line to allow for a wider load to be carried.

    Hi there, the racks I have measure 1150mm within the end caps.

    Surfboard in a cover is approximately 500mm wide.

    Therefore a pod that is approximately 500-550mm wide would be ideal.

    Suggestions?
