Thule Evo WingBar Roof Rack Installation on a 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan
The 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact SUV that’s popular with Calgary drivers for daily commuting, road trips, and weekend adventures in the mountains. With factory-raised roof rails, it is rack-ready and allows for a straightforward installation using vehicle-specific components. For this installation, our team set up a Thule Evo WingBar system paired with Thule’s raised rail foot pack. The result is a clean, secure base rack ready for bikes, skis, cargo boxes, and other rooftop gear.
Clean, Secure Fit on the Volkswagen Tiguan
This Tiguan features factory-raised roof rails that run the length of the roof. Because the rails are fully exposed, the rack system clamps directly to them without requiring a separate fit kit. This makes installation quick while still providing a strong and reliable connection.
The Thule Evo Raised Rail system is designed to sit low and evenly on the rails, creating a near factory appearance while maintaining excellent load capacity and full compatibility with Thule accessories.

Important Fit Note for the Volkswagen Tiguan
Volkswagen Tiguan roof designs can vary by generation and model year. While this 2015 model uses raised rails, other years may use different mounting systems that require alternative components. Using the correct rack system ensures proper fit, safety, and long-term performance.
If you are unsure which roof style your Tiguan has, our team will confirm it before recommending any parts.
