To estimate rack height above your vehicle roof, add the Slimline II Tray height (50mm / 2″) to your Foot Rails’ height, which mount on the highest point of the roof. For detailed measurements and fitting tips, refer to the Transporter LWB Foot Rails and Slimline II Tray assembly instructions available on the merchant’s site.
