Volkswagen Transporter with Menabo Professional roof bars and Menabo Mania 580 roof box

On a Volkswagen Transporter we fitted Menabo Professional roof bars and the Menabo Mania 580 ABS Black roof box, in the SuportBicicleta.ro shop at Drumul Lunca Corbului 2, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania.

About the car: Volkswagen Transporter (van)

The Volkswagen Transporter is a van model, and for the fitting the exact version of the car matters, with its wheelbase and roof type. In the fitting in the photos, the roof is low and the car has no roof rails.

The roof bars sit on dedicated feet fixed to the roof, and the box is fitted above them. On a van without roof rails, the dedicated feet determine how the bars attach, not clamps on the door frame. The data sheet of the Professional bars lists compatibility with the T6 Transporter 2015+ L1, L2, so check the generation of your car in the registration document before you order.
