roof rails

If after some flat mounting roof rails to go on my poptop not fussed about load weight, mainly to hide the hinge fixings on the roof any advice greatly received

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

hi everyone - first post to this Forum !! We have only just got our newly converted T6. It has a Westdubs pop up roof but I would really like to be able to put the kayak on the roof. Has anyone put roof rails or roof rack on this type of roof yet as would love to know the best option. thanks,

Hi All, I have a metal powder coated panel which bolts directly onto the California roof for a solar panel (see photo). Ideal if you don’t want to stick a panel directly to the roof. I purchased the panel from a company in Switzerland where it wasn’t clear this wasn’t the right product for my...

Brand new SWB T6 black roof bars. Never been fitted with original box and instructions. 75kg loading. Was sent these by mistake as we have a LWB so these won't fit my van. Collection preferred from Stoke on Trent. Omtec brand. These are stronger than usual roof bars with nearly double the...

Was pleasantly surprised that the VW Genuine Roof Rails are only £80. Was not happy to pay £150 for the cross bars that fit onto them though. So my question is - Can you fit aftermarket Cross Bars Onto Genuine VW rails? If so does anyone know which make Thanks

Hello, I'm Will and have just joined this forum, I live in Jersey and have my first van arriving next week from Guernsey, a T6 - there are a few things i want to do to it but firstly as a surfer i need to tie my boards on the roof and want some roof rails, i have seen these: VW T6 T6.1 Black...

I have a set of cheap Alluminium roof rails on my van which I'm thinking of spraying black. Just wondering if anyone has done this before and if you did any prep work to them beforehand rubbing down primer etc or just went ahead and sprayed them and what the results were like ?
