Product Features and Installation
The Slimline II Roof Rack Kit includes a full-size Slimline II aluminium tray with a sleek wind deflector plus two custom foot rails designed specifically for the Volkswagen Amarok. These foot rails attach securely to existing factory mounting points, eliminating drilling or permanent alterations.
Thanks to the tray’s T-slot design on both the upper and lower edges, mounting your gear or various Front Runner accessories, such as under-rack prep tables, is quick and convenient. The foot rails also feature openings to safely stow compatible accessories beneath the rack, optimising use of space.
Height is calculated by adding the tray thickness (about 50mm) to the measured height of the foot rails. Exact measurements and installation instructions come with the kit, with detailed manuals available on the merchant page to guide you step-by-step.

Front Runner offers a broad range of accessories engineered to integrate seamlessly with the Slimline II rack system. This includes various sizes of prep tables, wind deflectors designed to reduce noise and drag, and mounting brackets for tents or specialised gear, making this roof rack a versatile platform for your outdoor setup.
The foot rails have built-in openings that allow slide-in mounting of compatible front Runner prep tables under the rack, boosting storage efficiency without compromising accessibility.
