I adapted it to work on my 2008 Subaru outback rack. The tent weighs about 130lbs. Most VW's have a dynamic weight limit of 165lbs which would support it. You need to make sure the rack on your car has at least a 150lb dynamic weight limit. You may have to get creative in the mounting but it is pretty adjustable with the mounting brackets. As long as you have crossbars to mount to and your weight rating is high enough you should be able to make it work.
