The black aluminum roof rack for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is designed for tough everyday use: trade, service, expansion—and above all, for many miles on the highway. The aerodynamically shaped cross bars help to reduce wind noise and air resistance, while the black design fits in perfectly with modern Sprinter fleets. Ideal for Sprinter W906 (from 2006) and W907/W910 (from 2018) – depending on the variant, also with front or rear-wheel drive.
How quiet and suitable for everyday use is a black aluminum Sprinter roof rack?
In practice, this system scores particularly well with frequent drivers: the flow-optimized tubes are designed for smooth running, and the rear rollers across the entire width of the roof make loading ladders and long materials much easier. What's more, the crossbars can be flexibly positioned along the rail – you can build the rack to suit your specific needs.
Product description: Black roof rack for Mercedes Sprinter (W906 / W907 / W910)
The roof rack is made of corrosion-resistant aluminum in black and is designed for frequent commercial use. Thanks to its modular design, you can move the crossbars to adapt the rack to different types of cargo. Installation is carried out using the factory-fitted fixing points (under the roof covers) and usually takes around 35–45 minutes. The installation height is approximately 24 cm from the top edge of the roof.
