Attached is an installation video as well as a photo showing this installed on a 2019 Transit Connect for you to check out.

• Is There a Way To Mount a Rhino-Rack Platform Roof Tray to a 2013 Ford Transit w/ Minimal Height
• With only having 3.5" of clearance, I am not sure if there is a way to accomplish this. The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Tray # RR52TB is 2" tall by itself, which rules out being able to attach it to a roof rack. This means you would need to use a fit kit. The issue with the fit kit is that according to the manufacturer, the oldest model with a compatible fit kit is the 2014 and newer model years of the Transit which would be the RCL Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms...

• Are Thule Aero Bars Compatible with Rhino Rack XTray Pro Cargo Carrier?
• Yes! Since the Thule Aero-Bars like part # TH7502B are 3-1/8" wide x 1-1/8" tall, they will be able to mount directly to this Rhino Rack X-Tray Pro Cargo Rack # RRRMCB03 without any additional hardware. I love this rack because of the integrated fork mounts/carrier straps to mount bikes and the included wind fairing to reduce wind noise.

• Cargo Carrier on 2018 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van
• There is a way to figure out if the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18150 will allow the rear doors to open on your 2018 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van. The carrier has a 2-1/2 inch raised shank and measures 6-1/2 inches tall so you will need to measure from the top of the receiver hitch on your van to the bottom of your rear doors; that measurement would need to be more than 9 inches for the doors to clear the height of the carrier.

• Will Ventline Vanair 12-Volt Trailer Roof Vent # VP-543SP Fit Curved Roof of a Ford Transit Connect
• The slight curve of your van roof should not be an issue given that the Ventline Vanair 12-Volt Trailer Roof Vent # VP-543SP is a smaller unit. As such the curvature of the roof in the area where you mount the fan will not be a factor. This fan has numerous diameters depending on where you are measuring. Luckily another Expert took a bunch of these measurements and I have included a picture showing them for you.
