Update re: Rhinorack Stealthbars.
Have driven on the freeway plenty of times with them now. Wind noise is only slightly increased for me but others don't notice it. There can be a very occasional low grade whistle if the wind catches the bars in a certain way but this has only lasted for a very short period of time.
Very happy with them and can't wait to pop on a roof box.

Btw ignore the filthy car.

Hi Veew, I had a look at those when I was looking for a roof bar to mount my LED light bar and I think they were a fraction to low to allow the sunroof to open.

If you get a chance, can you measure the clearance under the bar, close to the centre of the roof and I will open mine and see what is needed to allow the sunroof to open.

Looking at those photos I don't think you will have clearance with the sunroof.

[veew]

You definitely can't use it with a sunroof, there is about 2cm clearance

Thanks Veew. I couldn’t get actual clearance details when I went to buy mine, so for safety sake, I bought the higher mount Rhino Racks..

I’m quite happy with them.

BTW, I originally posted I did not have any wind noise with mine, BUT, with the sound system off, there is also a very slight whistle at about 80kmh and higher speeds.

Changed the boot light to a 43mm Festoon LED. Significant improvement in light output.

Sorry to bother
I’ve just ordered these LED Festoon bulbs.
Have you had any issues/faults with them yet.
I plan to add the 2nd bulb to the glove compartment but if they are too bright I’ll stick with the original.
Thanks

No concerns with mine. I bought same ones recommended by Veew and installed one in the boot about 3 months ago - glovebox didn’t occur to me

Thanks for the reminder. Just bought this as well. Paid a couple of dollars extra to buy from an Aussie seller to get the delivery in days instead of weeks. Looking forward to the improvement!

No issues yet, am very glad I upgraded the bulbs.

Has anyone tried these? Is it working and recommended?

Tiguan comes in 1x week, but being the Asian that I am - I've found the genuine parts on eBay and stacked with the OzBargain codes have managed to get the boot liner much cheaper than what the dealer I can offer (I assume, didn't ask as they're all scammers).

How did you get the frosted cover off? I took the rear panel off and put my hand inside to try click it off from the inside without any luck at all. Feels like the whole thing will snap off!

I replaced mine with the same LED too, the frosted cover light slides a bit towards the end of the car (if I remember correctly) then you can push it out with your hand from behind.

I also replaced the halogen DRL light bulbs with these LEDs, no extra canbus control unit needed, plug and play, fits perfectly and no errors!

I am not a huge fan of the spring loaded cup holders in the tig (center ones). Has any one found any after market inserts that can fit in there ?

Also did anyone buy any moulded inserts for under the arm rest in the center for the storage area to divide it up ?
