Every van conversion requires a roof rack. Solar panels, kayaks and a host of other things will be installed or stored on the roof of the van during the vanbuild. All vans are factory built differently to receive a roof rack, Mercedes Sprinter vans, and Ford Transit vans have holes in the roof to receive bolts to anchor a roof rack. FreedomVanGo roof racks, Arksen Cargo Racks, Yakima Locknload systems, MaxxHaul Universal Steel, and Prime Design AluRack are all after market roof racks that need a way to attach to the roof. Dodge Promaster vans are built with studs that protrude from the roof. A wonderful way to attach a roof rack during the van build without making any holes in the roof. No Holes, and no van leaks. Perfect. Unforunately, the after market for clips that attach to these studs has been riddled with profiteers. People trying to take advantage of an unknowing consumer. It sucks …. I’m not a metal worker, but I’d like to believe that I have enough common sense coupled with building experience that I can design a roof clip for the masses that will be easy to build with rudimentary skills, minimal tools, inexpensive and reliable. I did it. I hope you find it useful.
