Part # 8161136-137
Topcase Rack
Available in: Black or Chrome

The product looks great. For the Grand America, there are 4 flat spots on the under side of the lid that fit the 4 posts almost perfect. Here is a case where when placing the rack get it close to the flat spots, then drill a small pilot hole in the center of one of the flat spots to make sure it is located properly for the remaining 3 holes. I was able to get it fairly close. So, I am adding one really small pilot hole, 1/16” bit, and then follow the directions. Use 1/8” pilot followed by 1/4” final hole. Remove only enough tape to place the black washer on the top. I used locktite blue, and only snugged the bolts to slightly compress the bottom washer rubber coating for water seal. That was really the only thing that I was slightly uncomfortable about, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, let the locktite do the work. Most BMW owners are a bit overprotective on torque, because most installs provide the torque value. I love the product, using for a small bag with easy access, the bag has Velcro closures, not plastic hooks. Saw same complaints on using plastic hooks. Will store rain gear and small items only.

Fits perfectly and easy to install

The rack was delivered promptly and in excellent condition as it was very well packed. As with any Wunderlich product it is very well made, the black paint, I'm guessing powder coat, is very good. All required hardware was provided and identified in the installation instructions. There were four flat plastic washers included that were not identified in the exploded assembly drawing and no mention was made of their purpose. The label on the plastic bag that contained the rack and bag of parts indicated that this item is for a GT/GTL. The included paper installation instructions are not very detailed; I also watched the installation video which provided a little more info. The installer instructs to line up the rack so that it is in the sweet spot. Since the GT/GTL top case is somewhat different than the Grand America it is more difficult to find the sweet spot. There is no reference made to the contours of the plastic liner inside the top case cover which can have consequences when locating the rack, drilling the holes and installing the fasteners. I felt the installation was a bit of kluge since the rack is really made for the GT/GTL case which is much flatter on top than the Grand America. Does is work? Yes, but for the price of the rack I feel it should be made to fit the GA top case.

We have a 2022 BMW GTL1600. We purchased the black trunk rack. It fit perfectly. It would be nice if it came with a mounting template. The email me when this item is back in stock worked well.

Very well made, functional and looks great on my K1600 GTL. First transaction with Wunderlich and very pleased.

Well made. East to install followed video instructions. Take your time on positioning like the suggested

So, I ordered this luggage rack for the top-case and it fits great, looks great, and will serve its purpose well. The weakest part of the whole setup, will be the top ass itself. I only have two issues with the rack. The first is that there is no stencil, and the instructions do not provide guidance on best placement location. The second, is that apparently BMW has plans for a factory too-case luggage rack, as there are four hole guides on the inside of the top case lid. I really think this should have lined up perfectly with those, guide marks so that the rack could be a drop-in replacement and so that should the BMW rack come out and users prefer it, a new top case lid would be required to make the switch. Otherwise, I look forward to mounting my luggage to the rack and seeing how well it performs for me.
