wow, that's a pretty sweet setup. that's almost exactly what I'm looking for - although an additional perpendicular bar that runs the length of the van on both sides would be better suited to my needs. my van must have lost its plastic covers, cause I'm just seeing two pairs of very rusty bolt heads. I'll take a some pictures and measurements once the snow clears - if you can confirm that the attachment points have the same spread on my 12 and your 16, then I'm golden. thanks very much both of yous

Trying to pull the trigger on a simple ladder rack. Most parts are listed for the "2014 and newer" Transit Connect XLT. I bought a 2012 this year and am hoping to chuck a rack up there for a ladder and occasional gear hauling. I know for some parts there's a heck of a difference between the two versions - and for some there's not. I just can't seem to find a definitive answer on whether the two-per-side factory attachment points I can see on my roof (uncovered and rusted to hell, of course - gotta address that too) are the same dimensions as the 2014-and-newers, cause I sure ain't finding many options for specifically 2013-and-older racks. I'm hoping this is just a clerical issue and the roof rack attachments are universal. Any advice on how to confirm this before I waste money on a rack that just barely won't fit?
