Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack Installation on a 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan
The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan is a versatile compact SUV that works well for Edmonton drivers year round, whether it is daily commuting, winter road trips, or hauling extra gear. With factory raised rails, the Tiguan is rack ready when paired with the correct clamp based system designed specifically for its rail shape.
For this installation, Andy from our team installed a Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system along with a Thule Pulse Medium roof box. Despite cold winter conditions, the install went smoothly and resulted in a clean, secure setup ready for four season use.
Clean, Secure Fit on the Volkswagen Tiguan
The Volkswagen Tiguan uses factory raised roof rails that are slightly narrower than many other SUVs. This is normal for Volkswagen and simply requires proper bar positioning and slightly increased clamp tension during installation.
Using the correct Thule Evo Clamp system ensures the crossbars sit level and secure while maintaining excellent load capacity. A little preparation goes a long way on this platform, especially in colder temperatures.

Important Fit Note for Volkswagen Tiguan Raised Rails
Volkswagen Tiguan raised rails are narrower than many other brands. This is a known characteristic and completely normal. During installation, the clamps require proper positioning and tightening to ensure a secure fit.
Our team checks rail shape, bar spacing, and torque values carefully to ensure everything is secure and performing as designed.
