# T7 bikerack **Source:** https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/t7-bikerack.56890/ **Posts:** 6 --- ### M — 2025-01-27T11:23:57+0100 (Jan 27, 2025) Has anyone seen a T7 with a bike rack that isn’t tow bar mounted? Asked the dealer and seems to only be a 2 bike rack that’s tow bar mounted - which seems a big downgrade from previous offerings --- ### — 2025-01-27T11:28:06+0100 (Jan 27, 2025) > [Melyn said:](/goto/post?id=735669) > > Has anyone seen a T7 with a bike rack that isn’t tow bar mounted?

Plenty of 4 bike 3rd Party tow bar racks. --- ### — 2025-01-27T11:46:42+0100 (Jan 27, 2025) > [Melyn said:](/goto/post?id=735669) > > Has anyone seen a T7 with a bike rack that isn’t tow bar mounted?

Seem to remember reading that the tailgate on a T7 is plastic so cant take the weight. They also all come with a tailgate spoiler which precludes hooking anything over the top of the door. --- ### M — 2025-01-27T11:53:55+0100 (Jan 27, 2025) > [andyinluton said:](/goto/post?id=735672) > > Seem to remember reading that the tailgate on a T7 is plastic so cant take the weight.

Ahh so back to the world of towbars again - atleast they retract now Couldn’t find any for the multivan when I looked either For the t6.1 I got new gas struts to fit a 4 bike rack, although annoyingly had sold my tow bar rack… dammit Cali is in production this week so trying to get logistics sorted for biking --- ### — 2025-01-30T23:10:30+0100 (Jan 30, 2025) Per Andy’s comment above - Multivan/ T7 Cali tailgate is made of thermoplastic: --- ### M — 2025-01-30T23:43:44+0100 (Jan 30, 2025) Ah fun times! Explains why the dealer was so happy to show me the retractable towbar! Just find boot mounted when you have 3-4 bikes is better. Oh wells… ---
