WK towbar Factory Fitment
« on: January 25, 2014, 09:37:50 PM »
Evening,

The WK I am getting has a factory fit tow bar. Its a 55plate car.

Does anyone know what make the towbar will be as the chap cannot find the swan neck detachable fitting.

Cheers

J.

If you could that would be great,

One if the car reciever fitting and then the actual swan neck.

Can see if I can source the neck then.

That rings a bell, I think Thule may own the company now though as i'm sure I had to get spare keys through them. I'll check 100% in the morning.

Thule own brink, I had Thule on my WJ;very nicely made. You should be able to get a new swan neck easily, it's the cross member that's unique to the model.

So I should be able to get any (in theory) swan neck for a Brink / Thule Towbar.

This is the rear of the one I will be collecting
