Hein goes over our new low profile Transit roof rail brackets. The top of the rails (8020 15 series or similar) are lower than the crown of the roof. Ideal for temporary use of crossbars due to situations where garage door (or other) clearance is needed when not carrying loads on roof. The rails are spaced above roof for water & debris flow. Rails are level side to side eliminating need to compensate for 5 degree slope of transit roof attachment points.

Please note that video shows non pre-production unfinished product. Finished product has UV resistant anodized finish and includes hardware.
