These are the base carrier bars that you need if you want to install a bike rack, a kayak rack, a ski rack, a roof box or anything else on the roof of your car. The carrier bars are compatible with Volkswagen Tiguan model years 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 that do not have factory roof rails installed.

I've happily used them for a year and had to replace as my new car has a different roof setup.

Pick them up at Stanford or in the Willow Glen area of San Jose.
