roof-bar prep option

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone had done a conversion/ drilling for the VW roof rails without factory roof prep? I think its 2 holes missing each side with fitting fitted from under the roof lining? Be good if someone on here done it already otherwise I won't bother. TIA Miles

Anyone got a set of SWB rails for sale?

Hi All, Have used the search but could quite find what I'm looking for. I have one roof rail attached to my T5 (for the side canopy) but I'd like to fit one to the other side so I can fit a solar panel. Does anyone know if this is a genuine item or where I can purchase the other side? Its a...

Hi, I have been wanting to put rails on my Hilo roof for ages. I got pretty much given a set of Thule roof bars and adaptors (Thule parts 7107 and 7009 + wing bars) coming from a California. All I need I think is rails that would be compatible with that fitting Kit. I think the one camper van...

Hello, I have a set of the roof guide rails off my T6 SWB, these are the ones that sit in the gutter and you use t-tracks fittings. Bought these from new, have the fittings for them but now have a pop top so no longer required. Part numbers: Left and right channels 7H1860181AQZU AND...

Don't suppose anyone has a set they no longer use? Just had a quotation from the dealer and £250 a side is a bit ridiculous for what it is but I guess that's vw for you. Cheers

The things you learn on your first van.. I ordered my van with roof bar prep kit... (One of the few accessories i requested that they DID fit. :rolleyes: ) So. does this mean if i want roofbars I have to buy the original VW items?? By bars I mean the ones going along the van not crossbars.. Pete

Has any one fitted roof rails to their Cali roof so roofs bars can be added when needed, same as van have on?

Is this for roof bars or awning?

My van need to have quite different things on the roof when camping vs working, so I like the idea of the in gutter rails to allow bars to go anywhere. Can collect within reason, I'm in Chesterfield.

Hey guys, Just a bit of advice. I have the factory roof rack prep on my van but I’m not sure what bars or rack that actually takes. I’ve tried doing my research and searching on this site but not much info specifically to the prep. is there a particular type or can I put some OEM rails or...

After seeing a picture of the roof preparation rails that go into the roof gutters, has anyone used them as an awning rail? It looks like you could feed a figure of eight bead into it
