Tiguan MK2 Roof Racks

[pandas]

Hi guys, hope you don't mind me reviving a thread.

Recently purchased a 2018 Allspace and looking at roof rack options - with sunroof.
Has anyone had experience with the Prorack / Yakima Flushbar system and know if it gets in the way of the sunroof?
Aero Flush Bar Package for Volkswagen Tiguan | Prorack Australia
Also looking at Thule Wingbar Evo and the Genuine VW option - would anyone have an idea how much the VW racks will set me back?

Many Thanks

I installed the rhino rack vortex sx bars on my wife's my22 allspace with sunroof.

The front bars have ~20mm clearance when the sunroof is open. The sunroof doesn't reach the rear bars, but clearance would be less if it did (sunroof is higher at the back)

Nice - thanks def worth considering. With all the sales at the moment it looks like the rhino will cost less than $250

Just remember that you also need the feet that fix it to the rails. IIRC - I paid ~A$380 all in for the bars.

Yep I may have jumped the gun a little.
Autobarn prices - bar is $75 , feet (x4). Rereading the ad I suspect the bar comes as a single, rather than pair.

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.
