Description

Genuine Volkswagen Roof Load Bars – Part Number: 5N0 071 126

The 5N0 071 126 is a set of Genuine Volkswagen Base Carrier Bars specifically designed for Tiguan models without factory-installed roof rails. If your Tiguan [5N1] or [5N2] has a “clean” roof (no longitudinal rails), these bars provide the necessary mounting base for your transport accessories.

Product Overview

These roof bars serve as the essential foundation for carrying cargo, roof boxes, bike racks, or ski holders. Because they are engineered specifically for the Tiguan [5N] body style that lacks pre-fitted rails, they ensure a secure, vehicle-specific attachment that universal aftermarket bars cannot replicate.

• Classification: Genuine Volkswagen OEM Accessory.

• Compatibility: Designed for Tiguan [5N1] (2007–2011) and [5N2] (2012–2016) models without factory roof rails.

• Function: Provides a robust, stable base for various roof-mounted transport solutions.

• Significance: Ensures safe, secure mounting on vehicles not equipped with longitudinal rails, protecting the roof paintwork and structural integrity.

Key Features & Benefits

• Guaranteed Fitment: Being an OEM component, these bars are precision-engineered to clamp securely to the Tiguan’s specific roof frame.

• Security: Includes an integrated anti-theft locking mechanism to keep your bars safe when the vehicle is parked.

• High-Grade Materials: Manufactured from durable, weather-resistant aluminum with high-impact polymer components, designed to withstand US weather conditions.

• Aerodynamic Profile: The bars are designed to reduce wind noise and drag compared to basic square steel bars.

• City-Crash Tested: Tested to Volkswagen’s rigorous safety standards, ensuring they remain secure under stress.

Compatibility Note

This specific part (5N0 071 126) is not for vehicles with factory-installed roof rails. If your Tiguan has raised or flush roof rails, you will need the version of the carrier bars compatible with those rail systems (such as the 5N0 071 151 referenced previously). Always verify your vehicle’s roof configuration before ordering.

Important Installation & Safety Advice

• Installation: As these mount to the vehicle’s frame rather than onto pre-existing rails, ensure the contact points are perfectly clean to protect the paint finish.

• Weight Limit: Always adhere to the maximum roof load capacity specified in your owner’s manual (typically around 75kg total, including the weight of the bars and accessories).

• Check Fitment: Before finalizing your purchase, it is highly recommended to confirm the part number matches your Tiguan’s exact production year and specific trim configuration, especially regarding the roof setup.
