We easily modified the barrier for our panoramic moonroof. As it is manufactured, the barrier is just a little too tall for the panoramic moonroof. We just drilled two new holes in the side of the barrier and slid the side attachment/legs down so it lowered the barrier's overall height. You can also just shorten the legs to the barrier if you prefer. In sum, yes, it modifies easily without compromising looks or functionality. Great pet barrier!

There is a walk through on what needs to be done at www.vwvortex.com in the sportwagen forum. Just search for travall and it should pop up. I believe it just requires trimming the legs slightly but it will fit with small modification.

Its really easy - you just have to drill a couple of holes in the pet barrier leg - one customer said they had to cut the legs - no need to do that. The only reason you have to drill the holes is to reduce the overall height. I am no handyman and it took me 2 minutes and you don't need to touch the vehicle

We bought this barrier roughly a year ago and could not be happier with it. I personally went the route of drilling new holes to make the barrier fit. That way if you want to resell it you can fasten the feet to the factory holes. The barrier fits snug, but from what i can tell has not done any damage to the headliner. I had similar concerns. Hope this helps!

With the modifications suggested in the other answers, I installed a Travel All Barrier in a 2013 Jetta Sportwagen. It works great.

I customized mine with absolutely no issues. I could measure it, but I believe I dropped the screen down by 3/4 inch. It woulded out to be where one hole was exactly in the middle of the existing factory holes.

I have the pano roof and the travel all fits. It's snug but it fits fine. No intrusion to the roof window or window shade operation.

I drive a Impreza Subaru wagon and bought the barrier to help keep my dog out of the back of my car. The barrier does not it in my back because the wheel wells are in the way. However, I figured out how to attach the barrier to back seat by using bungee chords around headrests and it works great! It's sturdy doesn't move it make noise, I can see through it just fine, and keeps dog out of the trunk of my car. You might be able to adjust barrier by lowering it and using bungees to secure barrier. But you can not adjust barrier as it had a metal frame

I have an 03' VW Jetta, 2.0. I believe its the basic model. It fits perfectly. However, I did remove the bumper while installing new headlights and someone helped me stretch it out so the slits went right through. I used pliers to pull them in. It looks great!!

I have a 2012 Jetta Sportwagen TDI. These crossbars fit mine very well. They are a pretty universal mounting system so they probably fit most bars honestly. They're very sturdy once you get them all tightened down. I highly recommend these. They are a bit wider than the car tracks so you'll have about four or five inches on each side sticking past the mounting location.

We have a Jetta too and are thinking of getting this stroller! Will let you know if we do get it if it fits!

Our car has a sunroof and we didn't have a problem. The only problem we had was that we didn't buy the blanket to go underneath the roof bag, we ended up having scuff marks on the car due to that, our fault.

It didn't fit my Jetta as well as I had hoped and when I tried to return it I found that it was impossible. I tried calling the number many times with no answer. Regards.

I ignorantly opened the package without reading it but after opening the package i read on the box that it said that it fit 2007 and new models obviously this box was too old for my 2012 car but I'm wondering if u have been sending out te wrong sized vent shades to a lot of customers my friend lost the shades Cus I let him borrow them to see of they fit on his old truck so I can't return my old ones but my question is if I were to reorder them again will they actually for the widows on my 2012 ford focua hatchback like the site claims because they didn't before?

You will have to measure the length to confirm it will fit and if you have an antenna on the front, like an Edge, you will have to check the clearance. One other issue I had, was a mesh type screen would pop up as the sunroof went back. You will have to check the clearance for that also. In the end, unless it is something you have to have, this is from an Edge owner's point of view, I decided against getting it. There was way too much measuring for such a simple piece of plastic.

I don't know about particular cars, but this is what I did before I purchased these racks (which have so far been awesome): - Measure the width of the roof of your car. Do this in the two places you expect to place the individual cross bars. My car roof (Volvo V50) is slightly tapered near the rear; not sure if this is universally true though. - Correlate this rough measurement with the appropriate model of SportRacks. There is a size chart somewhere detailing how far the bars expand. Pick a size that will accommodate your car roof (if in doubt, overestimate the width of your roof so the bars aren't too small; they can always be cut). - The measurements you take don't need to be precise. If the size of your roof is in-between or on the cusp of two rack lengths, go with the larger option. As to the mounting mechanisms, they are very adjustable to fit a variety of doors. I messed with mine for about 15min before getting a stable fit and then mimicked that setting on the remaining three mounts. It wasn't difficult at all. So far, so good with these bars, and I've done a ton of highway driving here in Alaska with a roofbox mounted on them (against the advice of SportRack!).

I finally got round to fitting them yesterday on my 2013 Jetta tdi, so would think you will be ok. I was not too impressed at the cut when I opened packet but must admit they looked good after putting them on. I tried to use the screws provided but you need a screw driver and found the washers to be frustrating so used what was on the car before (these require an Allen key). I have not driven far but they seem to be on tight. Once I figured all of this out, only took me less than an hour to fit. They seem to be on tight, but I will be checking!

I'm sure you've noticed that those of us responding to your question are consumers not the distributor. This cover is beyond extra-large and you'll want to strap it down to avoid it blowing off of a smaller vehicle like a Civic. Personally, we were very disappointed with the product and supplier . . . it didn't even last a year before it ripped and crumbled to pieces and our weather isn't that severe in the Pacific NW. Can't in good conscience give it a recommendation.

I gambled on the same thing and it worked out great. YMMV.I have the V&H; Longshots on my 2003 Kawasaki Meanstreak. It came with the "CheeseGrater" baffles that were too loud. I bought these hoping that they would fit. What I found is that at their largest diameter, they were just slightly smaller than the pipes. I was afraid they would rattle in there, so I bought some hi-temp fiberglass (the stuff they sell for patching up mufflers), wrapped it around the baffle a few times and taped it down. I then slid it in and screwed it in to place. No rattle, more of a "blub blub" than the 'BLAT BLAT' from before. Great investment. I gambled on the same thing and it worked out great.

Did you ever get this to work on your Santa Fe? I bought this in March and had not had a nice day to try to put this on until today. The crossbars on our Santa Fe only expand to about 25"? Needless to say, not a perfect fit.

I have a 2004 Jetta and it pits perfectly. I've tried quite a few others and I think this one is the best I've found so far.

We borrowed a family member's THULE. the Thule we have has finger like clips that open and close, which tighten down on the bars to attached the Thule. It all worked perfectly! the only thing we had to do was move one of the bars slightly closer together than indicated in the Hyundai instructions (there are three holes on the roof rack that the bars attached to. the bars fit perfectly, no issues with opening or closing the panoramic sunroof with the bars attached. however, to be on the safe side, we wouldnt open the roof w/ the Thule attached.

Howdy, you're are right it is a difficult installation....the good news is it does get easier (Camping World took it off to install the tow brackets on my CRV). Anyway....it rained heavily today and I drove the CRV in the rain... I suppose mold might build up under the nose mask (I have heard of that happening on other brands)...I hope not tough!
