Bike rack

[Sonas]

Hi
I have a T6 beach with new T6 bike rack. Does anyone leave the rack on all year round. Is it ok for the rear door to leave it on all the time.

I take mine on and off as required. If you leave it on all year round, make sure you remove and lubricate the arms and screw threads / locks otherwise they will rust and eventually fail.

We take ours of for the winter as not much towel drying going on ....

We leave ours on all the time but I do lube the screws as they do tend to rust.

Can anybody confirm that if you have the VW rack installed and the rear-view camera that the camera is not obstructed by the bike rack?

I expect the camera is near the number plate, and the bike rack sits above this so will be fine...

Camera is not obscured on a T6.

Just had bike rack installed, holds 4 bikes no problem with rear view camera. Makes closing the boot easier due to the weight of the rack

It depends, the hydraulic struts can be either too weak, too strong or just right depending on the ambient temperature.
