4.12.8 Equipment installed on roof

When installing equipment on the roof, e.g. roof racks, chillers, wind deflectors, etc.,
some considerations must be observed:
-
-
When installing roof racks on the roof of a van, the Body Builder must move the
antenna to another location. The remaining hole should be properly covered, to
ensure it is waterproof.

-
In vehicles which are for the transport of people and have an emergency exit
through the roof, the mounting of any kind of equipment on the roof is forbidden,
if this would cover all or part of the emergency exit hole. This would prevent the
occupants from escaping or being rescued after an accident, and delay the medi-
cal care of any injured persons.
