Installing Vantech H1 Ladder Rack on Ford Transit Connect

[@jhtprojects4431]

Helpful, but does not work for Transit Connect that has headliner.

[@upfitsupply]

I've been able to install in passenger vans with the headliner, you just need to peel back the headliner on the sides. Locations #2 (above sliding doors) & #5 (furthest back) are easiest to access. Otherwise you could use plusnuts or some other type of blind fastener.

I am having trouble with the front bar. Driver and passenger side. I removed the clips up top but isn’t open like the rear. How do I remove all of the indoor covers without ripping them? You skipped that part.

[@upfitsupply]

You have to reach your hand in between the headliner and the ceiling/roof. If you have a partition installed, this may be pretty tight.

@@upfitsupply I was able to figure it out. I appreciate your video and your help.

If you have the 2 bar h1 model which hole locations would you use on the transit?

[@upfitsupply]

It’s up to you really. Typically people will go into location 2 & 5 on the Transit Connect. Take into consideration the length of your ladders or other cargo you will have up there. Usually the further rearward you mount, the less wind noise.

How do I find out if its LWB or SWB?

Question what year of the ban you are working on?

[@mominkadir9372]

Van

[@upfitsupply]

This is a 2016, but it will be the same for 2014+ models.

[@mominkadir9372]

Is there any difference between is H33 And H31

[@upfitsupply]

H32 & H34 are used on the Transit Connect. There is a difference with the height of the crossbar mount. Usually the middle uprights/bar sit a little lower to account for slope in the roof so that your ladders will sit flush when spanning across 3 cross bars.

[@mominkadir9372]

I have brought those sets and opened the box and those got mixed up hard to figure it out which one is going in the middle
