If you own a Volkswagen Tiguan and need to carry more gear — a roof box, bikes, kayaks, luggage or ladders — fitting a roof rack is the easiest upgrade you can make. The best part is that the Tiguan comes from the factory with two raised side roof rails, so installation is genuinely simple and needs no drilling at all.

Why the Tiguan is so easy to fit

Because your Tiguan already has two raised roof rails running along the roofline, the crossbars clamp directly onto the rails. There's no drilling, no permanent modification, and no vehicle-specific fitting kit required. Most owners have the rack fitted and ready to load in just a few minutes — which is why this is such a popular, no-fuss option.

Bar lengths for the Tiguan

This roof rack set comes with two crossbars sized to suit the Tiguan's roofline:

  • Front bar: 77 cm
  • Rear bar: 81 cm

What you can carry

With the crossbars in place you can mount a roof box for extra luggage space, bike carriers, kayak or surfboard holders, ladder racks and more. It frees up boot and cabin space so longer trips and bigger loads are no longer a problem.
