How does it fit?

The Wedgetail roof rack to suit the Transporter fits by securing sturdy brackets to the existing 8 mm hardware positions and then is sealed to the roof using suitable natural cure silicon. Once these are fitted we fasten four of our Wedge-wing mounting kits to which the Wedgetail platform connects, giving a higher load rating and improved aesthetics.

How do accessories attach?

The Wedgetail platform uses sturdy crossbars. The crossbars incorporate a heavy-duty channel both facing upwards and downwards. These channels allow any Wedgetail accessories to be quickly locked in or out; this also means that a large variety of alternative accessories can easily be fitted to the Wedgetail rack if necessary.

Wind noise?

All Wedgetail racks come standard with a wind deflector to minimise wind noise as much as possible. As well as this Wedgetail racks also include our unique Wedge-flow crossbar design which is the culmination of years of design experience in minimising wind noise. The Wedgetail rack to suit the Transporter is no different; we understand how frustrating a noisy roof rack can be and have put every effort into ensuring that the Wedgetail rack is as quiet as it can be.

Load rating?

One thing you can be sure about with a Wedgetail rack is that no matter what road you are on in this country our full load rating will apply. Wedgetail racks do not need to be de-rated in off-road conditions due to the design and construction methods used, including our wedge-lock corners. The load rating for the Wedgetail rack fitted to a Volkswagen Transporter is 100 kg (you must be aware of your vehicle's roof loading. This information will be available from Volkswagen). It is essential that you take the weight of the Wedgetail platform off your roof rating, and this will give you your legal carrying capacity (the reason we don't list this on the website is that it can vary between model variants).
