Hardtop Bed Cover, Aeroklas Stylish, Volkswagen Amarok Double Cab 2023 - Present

The following only applies to vehicles manufactured before December 2024. The vehicle manufacturer made changes to the bed reinforcement in November 2024, which resolved this issue.

  • In order to preserve the structural integrity of the truck bed, Volkswagen recommends the installation of reinforcement brackets (J-brace) when installing accessories on the rail of the truck bed.
  • In practice, this means that in the case of accessories (e.g. hardtops) that extend above the side wall of the truck bed and weigh more than 45 kg, the installation of a reinforcement J-brace is required. The part in question is shown in blue on the picture.

  • Failure to install the brackets may void the manufacturer's warranty.
  • Please contact your Volkswagen dealer for more information.
