Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Multivan T5 Roof Racks???

I too have a T5 (2011 Multivan), and need some racks - but wondering what the very very lowest profile racks/option I can get are??? Need to fit into my multi-level carpark still and don't have much height to play with.
I took all the rear seats out, and was low on fuel, and my max height was 1960mm. I gotta keep it below 2100mm (well below if possible), so not heaps to play with.
Anyone have any measurements by any chance?
...or maybe a real good "reliable" fitting place that would know all the options? (Melbourne)

Mine is still under 2.1m with 245/65x17 tyres and raised suspension, 2.05m to be exact, so can still get into 2.1m carparks with out anything on there.
It's actually 2.09m to the top of the eye bolts that are there for attachment purposes. Haven't hit anything yet in a 2.1m carpark.

I’m on the Gold Coast , can’t seem it find the right solution. Want to mount solar panel under either a platform or roof racks and fit a kings awning.

Cross bars have the u channel on it so you can mount stuff to it. Mine has the u channel down so you can centre it on the car. Annoying....

I just installed a 2.7m Rhino Pioneer tray on my VW SWB T6 as per Markee's low feet option (RLTPPP). My clearance measurements on stock wheels and suspension is between 1980mm & 1990mm but very happy to still fit under 2m car parks.
I went 4 pairs of legs and the end result is rock solid. There is about 20mm clearance between roof and bars but no flex contact when I walk around up there.
I would post pics but I'm only new here.
