Recommended Roof Rack System For 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van

Question:

Hi, Seems like Rhino-Rack is not very good at listing the specifications of their products. It would be great if you can help me out with some info for the RR Universal Modular Backbone Mounting System - Long and Short: 1 whats the overall length of the Long and the Short? 2 what are the spacing of the anchor points for the Long and Short? 3 Are they designed for flat roof line without curvature? 4 Does it come with mounting hardwares what can install them to factory roof rails pictured of a Sprinter van? If not, do you have any products adapters that can install these to the roof rails of a Sprinter van 2019?

I reached out to Rhino Rack on your behalf about your situation. The confirmed that the backbone system # RR57AT does not fit your vehicle. I do have tracks that will work for you though. These tracks # RRRTV208 are 81 inches long and have about 26 rivets that install on your roof. Then you can get these feet # RRRLT600 to attach to the tracks using these two components # RRQMFK11-4 and # RRQMHD05-4. Then all you need is crossbars # RRVA180B-4.

This is the 4 crossbar setup. With the long 81" tracks you will have SO MUCH ROOM for accessories. You can really utilize your full roof this way. There is so much you can do with all that crossbar space. The nice thing about the Vortex Aero Bars is that you can use any wrap around accessory from any brand or any T-Track accessory from Rhino-Rack.

The spacing of your crossbars all depends on what you need for your accessories. This system is designed for your roof weather you have a flat or curved roof. With this system you are not limited whatsoever to what you would want to do on your roof. If I had a sprinter van, I would have this same setup.
