FITMENT GUIDE

How to Choose the Correct Thule Fit for Your Volkswagen Van

Volkswagen van roof bar fitment varies between generations and roof mounting systems. This is especially important on Transporter T5, T6 and T6.1 models where fixed-point and T-profile applications need different components.

  1. Confirm the Volkswagen model: Transporter, Caddy Cargo or Crafter.
  2. Identify the Transporter generation: T5, T6/T6.1 or the latest 2025-onwards Transporter.
  3. Check the model year: use the year range shown on the relevant vehicle collection.
  4. Check the roof mounting system: fixed points, T-profile, flush rails or another factory setup.
  5. Choose the load bar: SquareBar, WingBar Evo, ProBar Evo or SlideBar where listed as compatible.
  6. Check permitted loads: follow the lowest permitted load limit stated for the van roof, roof bars and fitted equipment.
