The aluminum roof rack for VW T7 Transporters built from 2024 onwards has been specially developed for the latest generation of Transporters. The aerodynamic system combines high stability with reduced air resistance, making it ideal for tradespeople, service fleets, and commercial drivers.
Compared to classic steel roof racks, the optimized profile shape ensures significantly lower wind noise – a noticeable gain in comfort, especially on long highway journeys.

Why aluminum makes sense for the VW Transporter
The weight of the vehicle plays an important role, especially in modern transporters. Aluminum reduces the additional load on the roof and thus improves:
- Driving dynamics
- Fuel efficiency
- Long-term corrosion resistance
- Visual integration into the vehicle design
Roof rack or crossbars?
While simple crossbars are suitable for point loads, the roof basket offers significant advantages:
- Enclosed loading area
- More lashing points
- Better load distribution
- Greater transport safety for long loads
Optional accessories
- Porte Tube Pro – Pipe transport system
- Safe Clamp – Ladder clamp
- LadderStow – Ladder holder
- Running board/platform (only for L3 variant)
- Aluminum rear door ladder (only for hinged doors)
Frequently asked questions about the VW T7 Transporter roof rack
Is the roof rack specially designed for the 2024 model?
Yes, the system is vehicle-specific to the new T7 Transporter generation from 2024 onwards and uses the original fixing points.
Are there differences between roof baskets for tailgates and double doors?
Yes, depending on the door variant, a different basket length is used to ensure optimum opening freedom.
How loud is the roof rack when driving on the highway?
