FAQ – VW Caddy 5 & Caddy Maxi aluminum roof rack
Does the roof rack fit both the VW Caddy 5 and the Caddy Maxi?
Yes. The roof rack is designed for the VW Caddy 5 from model year 2021 onwards and for the Caddy Maxi. It is important to select the appropriate version (L1 or L2/Maxi) according to the wheelbase and roof rack size.
Are rear rollers really included in the scope of delivery?
Yes, the rear rollers are included as standard. They run across the entire width of the rack and make it noticeably easier to load long items such as ladders, pipes, or profiles.
How is the roof rack mounted on the Caddy 5?
It is mounted at the factory-installed fixing points in the roof. The mounting points are located under the plastic covers. The feet are screwed in place there, then the roof rack is aligned and tightened.
Can I move the crossbars/crossbars?
Yes. The crossbars can be positioned flexibly along the rail. This allows the roof rack to be optimally adapted to different types of cargo (e.g., ladders, panels, pipes, or boxes).
Is the roof rack suitable for highway driving – how loud is it?
The aerodynamically shaped crossbars make the roof rack particularly suitable for frequent highway driving. Compared to angular standard racks, there is usually less wind noise and a more comfortable driving experience.
Which accessories are useful for trades and service work?
Three extensions are particularly popular for everyday professional use: Pipe Tube Pro (long goods transport tube), Safe Clamp (quick ladder clamp with anti-theft device), and LadderStow (ergonomic ladder holder). These allow the roof rack to be expanded specifically for the area of application.
