C-profile rail in roof of Multivan
The C-profile rails can be found on the left and right along the roof and are so-called because of the
shape of the profile. They allow accessories to be attached. The roof carrier required for this is inserted
in the C-profile of the rail at the rear end and pushed into the desired position. The recesses are protec-
ted by cover caps.
Commercially available roof attachments, such
as
– roof box,
– ski holder,
– load carrier,
– bike rack or similar
can be attached to the rails.
The roof can withstand a maximum of 100 kg.
Speed nut
The commercial vehicle variants feature 4 mounting plates in the roof instead of the
C-profile rails. These mounting plates are closed with sealing bolts. Retrofitting of
C-profile rails is possible as the bodywork is made ready for this purpose.
