Hi im looking for a van and discard any that have roof bars fitted, that got me thinking can they be removed? so that the roof wont leak rust etc or once fitted is that them fitted for life cheers

Hi guys. Just got my original VW roof rails. The fitting looks simple enough but in the box there are what looks like 6 black plastic spacers, not the rubber gaskets. these plastic spacer like bits don't seem to fit into the rails anywhere. Any idea what they might be for or there they go...

Has Any one used the DST roof bars. Gets mixed reviews.

New. Taken off upon delivery. All fixings included. £100 for a quick sale

I forgot to cancel my order with VW and they would like to charge me 20% to restock these roof rails, so I'm going to pick them up tomorrow. They were on back order and still like hen's teeth so thought I would offer here before putting them on ebay. No pics yet, but they are the OEM (Omtec)...

Roof rails in good condition - slight scratch to top surface but not visible from below. £20 - collection only - near Aberdeen.

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.

Hi All recently joined the T6 Forum ! Just wondered if anyone would be able to help guide me in the right direction in relation to fixing roof rails to enable me to fit surfboards to my roof. I can send pictures of the pop top if helps.

We have decided to buy a drive away awning to make things a little easier when away - so far so good. The van has a pop top and no awning rail. I have been looking at the options and i see i could go with the following: Fiamma Wind out awning F45 which also has a C Channel. Im not overly...

Hi all I've just sold my SWB 6.1 Kombi (boo) but am collecting my 5.1 LWB Caravelle on Tuesday (hooray), this means that my roof rails and side bars don't fit anymore! I put them on in July 2020 and they have all fittings apart from the grommets that always break (I've been told that LV will...

My poptop is now installed so I am selling on a set of black roof bars for a T6 SWB van. These were fitted by VW Liverpool in June 2019 when I bought the van (new). Few minor scratches along the top of the bars, but these cannot be seen anyway unless you are above the van. £50 Collection...

So, whilst attaching the roofbars, one of the thread receptors has moved away from the hole on the van roof and now it's impossible to either get the roofbar bolt to screw in or the threaded cover to go back on. Anyone got any suggestions? Thinking I might have to bond the cover screen back on.

Hi Everying. I've got a detachable towbar on my T6 conversion and I want to use it for a little extra storage but I'm torn between various solutions and wondered if anyone has any advice/gotchas before I take the plunge. Basically we're going away for almost 3 weeks at the end of August and...

Hi all, I’m a new member having been directed here to get an answer to my roof rail issue so I hope I’m getting all this right! I’m looking to carry a paddle board & surf board on my pop top roof and can’t find a conversation covered previously on this specific roof. I have been told that using...

I want to fit roof rails to my HiLo. Mainly so I can mount a replaceable solar panel between 2 bars but perhaps some lighter carry duties in the future too. As low profile as possible would be good. Anyone fitted rails to a HiLo? Which did you go with?

Does anyone know what roof rails are fitted onto their 2019 build T6 vans? and what the safe loading of this roof is? Messaged Teahupoo only to find their Customer Aftermarket Support is non-existent.

Hi, Has anyone bought roof rails from Shore Vans - was wondering on the quality as they seem a good price https://shorevans.co.uk/product/vw-t5-t6-transporter-swb-aluminium-roof-bars-roof-rails-set-black-2003-onward/

Hi All, I'm looking for some of the hidden/flush fitting type roof rails that VW call guide rails. Looking to get a hard kayak to replace an inflatable and it's too long to go in the van so it has to go on top. I'm not interested in fitting normal roof rails, I want these hidden ones. That way...

I have just replaced these with black ones purely for aesthetic reasons only, in very good condition. They look identical to the ones I have just purchased from Van Style, these were on the van when I bought it.. £35 collection only as the box is huge. Im in Bristol area

Hi, My van looks to have had roof rails in a past life and I have this small piece of corrosion, and have been quoted £410 to treat and spray is that expensive given the size is so small?.. Thanks
