Vantech H2 Roof Rack on 2014 Titanium Passenger


Recommended Posts

This was such a pain in the ass, I figured other dabblers might benefit.  This was my stock vehicle.  2014 passenger titanium with those rails on top.  I want a rack.

Remember that weird tool you bought that "makes drills go around corners"?  Does it sound like an "extra expense"  now Jennie?  DOES IT?!

Alright, now some would say you need to take the entire interior apart.  They're wrong.  You only need to take 3/4 of the van apart.

The roof rack on the stock rails has five mount points.  The one in the back is very easy to remove.

This one was designed by Satan himself and exists beside both an airbag pump, airbag curtain, and the access point doesn't fit standard tool fittings.

Then again, the roof rack is as intended.  Couldn't be happier with the result.

Some of the process

Wow, what a pain in the neck. I have the opposite problem, I'm trying to install roof rails because my car came without them. I'm just going to take it to the dealer, however. I don't have the wherewithal to do what you did.

Any chance you're in the NY area?  No use for my stock rails now so I'm trying to get rid of them.

No, sorry. I live in California, and already bought them from a guy who got rid of his. He did this camper conversion to his car, it looks awesome: https://ursaminorvehicles.com/campers/ford-camper-conversions.html

Are you getting rid of your stock rails?  I've got a 2018 LWB.  If your rails would fit... I'll take them!  I'm in NY area.
