Hi all I've just had an SDV Elite roof rack fitted to my 2018 T6 Kombi which I currently use for work in the carpet trade. I am very pleased with the rack but have found that I now need a heavy duty full length step to access it. I will be eventually modifying the vehicle to a swamper style day...

HI all. I have a 2017 T6 caravelle and i have just tried putting on my roof bars. You have to remove the roof bolt and then screw in your roof bar bolt to secure the roof bar to the roof. BUT! I managed to damage the thread of the nut that sits in the roof! Can anyone advise me on how I can...

Hello, have searched for similar posts but can't find anything. Being stuck in doors and looking out the window I have noticed the bolts on the roof have started to go rusty. See attached picture. I guess these are the roof rack bolts. My question is, shall I leave them alone, take them...

Hi all, I'm currently looking at a 2016 transporter T32 with high roof, but Ineed to be able to fit a roof rack to it. Has anyone out there done this or got any info on which would fit? It'll need to be able to carry the weight of a traditional open canoe. Many thanks, Martyn

I’ve bought a 2nd hand rack to carry my kayaks. Are the bolts that come with the T6 suitable for mounting a roof rack with or are they just effectively covers? What thread are they? M6?

Slowly getting my T6 Kombi accessorised to suit my needs. The van currently has roof rails fitted along with some Thule square steel bars, which are ok, but I am looking to fit an "expedition" type roof rack.. the type which has lots of cross bars forming a platform. Something along the lines of...

Hi all, We make regular trips with our Roof Box fitted, and currently i use a rickety old foldable step ladder to get up high enough to pack the box up. It means that i then have to take the ladder with us, rattling around in the boot, otherwise i'm stuck when i get to the other end. Any...

Just starting now to convert a startline t6. It has the bog standard plastic bumpers but I actually quite like them....so am going to embrace them! Want to go down the route of making it look like an adventure vehicle and really like the look of the black half expedition roof racks but no...

Hi everyone, I have the factory fitted roof rack prep on my T6 kombi edition. I want to get some good looking crossbars but quite a few I’ve looked at don’t seem to be load tested and are more for aesthetics? Can anyone recommend some bars that look the part and can actually carry...
