Hit the Slopes with Volkswagen Accessories

Volkswagen vehicles get new products in the accessories range, now that the ski season has begun. The German carmaker is offering a ski and snowboard holder, a roof box and snow chains. All these will allow you to transport all the necessary ski equipment, and also travel safe in wintry conditions.

The Volkswagen Genuine ski- and snowboard holder can carry up to six pairs of skis or up to four snowboards on your vehicle’s roof. It can be fitted to the Volkswagen Genuine roof bars or carry bars and then locked in place.

And for those who cannot handle the cold to well, the wide opening buttons enable the ski and snowboard holder to be opened even when wearing thick gloves.

Furthermore, the Volkswagen Genuine roof box is available in three sizes and is suitable for transporting small pieces of luggage, toys, jackets. It can be easily fitted thanks to the quick-release fastening system.

The "Duo-Lift System" enables the roof box to be opened from both sides, while a 3-point central locking system protects against theft. However Volkswagen warns that the maximum permitted roof load must not be exceeded.

Finally, you can rely on the Volkswagen Genuine snow chains when driving in extreme snow conditions. Mounted on the wheels on the drive axle, the chains cover the running surface of the tire like a web and prevent the tire from skidding.

However, another warning from the carmaker says that when using snow chains the maximum permitted speed is 50 km/h.
