Designed for Real-World Van Builds
This roof rack is offered in three model-specific configurations to ensure proper fit and load distribution across Ford Transit roof structures. The modular layout allows crossbars to be repositioned easily, making it simple to work around roof fans, A/C units, solar panels, Starlink mounts, or rooftop decking.
Laser-cut side panels reduce overall weight while promoting airflow beneath mounted components—helping improve cooling around solar panels when parked. The integrated aerodynamic fairing smooths airflow at highway speeds for quieter driving and improved efficiency.
