We import these ourselves from Europe, where they are popular with Vanagon owners who have bike racks. If you typically have extra weight on your rear hatch, these are the ones for you. But if you don't, you may find that these make the hatch a bit harder to close without any extra weight on it, and should consider our cheaper ones linked below instead (which are still stronger than stock but not as stiff as these ones). Note, these are priced each but should be replaced in pairs to give you the proper load capacity.
