The aluminum roof rack for the VW T5, VW T6, and VW T6.1 is the ideal solution if you need additional storage space on the roof of your vehicle. It was specially developed for vans built in 2003 or later and combines particularly low weight with high stability and aerodynamic design. The rack comes with a front spoiler and loading roller – perfect for anyone who often transports long or bulky goods.
Aluminum roof rack for VW T5 and VW T6 models built in 2003 or later
Made from high-quality aluminum, the roof rack is ideal for vehicles with a 3,000 mm wheelbase and is suitable for both daily commercial use and privately used vans.
The integrated loading roller makes loading and unloading pipes, slats, ladders, or other long items much easier. The front spoiler also reduces wind noise and contributes to lower fuel consumption.
