GOOSE GEAR Volkswagen Touareg 2011-2017 2nd Gen. - Rear Plate System - 1003-GGR-SH
The Volkswagen Touareg Rear Plate System™ is 100% bolt in and does not require drilling.
This plate is available in two options:
-
Two Access Hatch Plate System™. This plate is designed to be installed with the factory carpet removed. This version has two access doors on either side of the plate, designed for non-DEF fluid Diesel vehicles and allows access to the storage below the plate even if you were to add a single drawer or an IceBox module.
-
Three Access Hatch Plate System™ for DEF Diesel equipped vehicles. This plate is designed to be installed with the factory carpet being removed, giving you three doors to access the storage space below the carpet and around the spare tire storage. This is also a must for diesel powered Cayenne's as you will need access to add Blue DEF fluid.
By adding the Goose Gear Plate System you will now have the ability to easily and quickly add or remove various Goose Gear Modules. Including the IceBox Modules and drawer modules.
Dimensions: 42" wide x 38" long at longest point
Weight: 26-28 pounds
Additionally, you can add second row delete plates as well and create a much larger storage space as well as a sleeping platform or a place to keep your surfboards inside the vehicle for safe keeping. Image below shows the rear plate as well as both the 40% and 60% deletes plates.
You can also use the Goose Gear Plate as a base to mount or to secure your own fridge slide, cooler or refrigerator. There are also pre-installed anchor points which you can use to add Goose Gear Anchor Packs to utilize straps to secure your personal cargo.
