About the car: Volkswagen Bora, Jetta IV generation (A4)
In most of the world, the Jetta IV was sold under the name Bora. The model was built on the Volkswagen Group A4 (PQ34) platform and was produced in Europe from 1999 to 2006. The model that replaced it is the Jetta A5.
The Bora was built both as a 4-door saloon and as a 5-door estate called the Variant. For a tailgate rack, the shape of the boot matters, so before you buy, check that the rack suits your body type, saloon or Variant.
What we fitted on this Volkswagen Bora
We fitted the the Menabo Biki rack, the three-bike version, a steel model that fits on the tailgate or boot lid. It has 6 contact points on the body and carries up to 45 kg, and the bikes are fixed to the frame.
The rack folds, and the package measures 67 x 52 x 10 cm, so you can store it easily. You will find the fitting instructions below as a PDF.
Technical details and what to watch for
- Specifications: three-bike rack, steel, 4 kg, maximum load 45 kg, foldable.
- Bikes: the rack takes fat bikes, but not e-bikes. The bikes touch each other, so put some protection between the frames.
- Load: weigh the bikes before you set off so that you stay under 45 kg.
- Visibility: after fitting, check that the number plate and the rear lights remain visible, especially with the bikes on.
- Fitting steps: for the fitting steps, read the guide to fitting steps for tailgate racks.
- For electric bikes (e-bikes) you can look at the towbar-mounted bike racks category and check on each model's page whether it accepts this type of bike.
