Flatline Van Co Sprinter Van Crossbars for OEM Roof Rails

The Flatline Van Co Sprinter Van Crossbars are a two-crossbar roof rack system for 2007+ Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, and 3500XD vans equipped with factory OEM roof rails, rated to a 200 lb weight limit and weighing under 16 lb per kit. Precision-machined billet aluminum towers clamp directly to the existing roof rails with no drilling or permanent modifications. The system is available in two crossbar widths, 59.75 inches (Standard) and 71 inches (Wide), to suit different cargo setups and gear configurations.

Low-Profile Rack Capacity Without the Bulk

At 6.5 inches of installed height and under 16 lb per kit, the Sprinter Van Crossbars add meaningful roof cargo capacity without the visual mass or weight penalty of a full platform rack. A 200 lb weight limit accommodates cargo boxes, kayak mounts, surfboard carriers, and solar panels. Keeping the kit light also means less unsprung mass affecting fuel economy and handling on long highway stretches between destinations.

Mounts to Factory Rails, No Modifications Required

The four billet aluminum rack towers attach directly to the Sprinter's OEM roof rails, using the factory attachment points as the structural foundation. No drilling, no cutting, and no permanent changes to the van body are required. The crossbars can be removed cleanly when not needed, which is useful for vans that split time between cargo work and recreational use, or for owners who want to swap configurations between trips.

Hardware Built to Stay Secure

The machined aluminum crossbar end caps include integrated tie-down points, giving a direct anchor for straps without relying on aftermarket add-ons or improvised rigging. Stainless steel hardware throughout resists corrosion in wet and coastal environments. The hard anodized black finish on the aluminum components provides a durable surface that holds up to UV exposure and road debris without peeling or flaking.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Sprinter Van Crossbars suit owners of 2007-and-newer Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, and 3500XD vans across 144", 170", and 170" EXT wheelbases in Low or High Roof configurations who want a lightweight, removable roof cargo solution for boxes, boards, panels, or kayak mounts without committing to a full platform rack system.

These crossbars do not fit Sprinter vans that lack factory OEM roof rails. The towers require those rails as the mounting foundation and the system cannot be installed without them. This product is not compatible with Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster, or other van makes, and does not include a roof platform, cargo basket, or any cargo-carrying accessory beyond the crossbar structure itself.

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead and lead compounds, DEHP, and bisphenol A (BPA), which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Common Questions

Which Sprinter models and years are compatible with these crossbars?

The Flatline Van Co Sprinter Van Crossbars fit 2007 and newer Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, and 3500XD vans across 144", 170", and 170" EXT wheelbases in both Low Roof and High Roof configurations, provided the van is equipped with factory OEM roof rails.

Do I need factory roof rails already installed on my Sprinter?

Yes. The Sprinter Van Crossbar system mounts exclusively to the Sprinter's factory OEM roof rails. The four billet aluminum towers clamp directly to those rails as their structural anchor point. Sprinter vans without factory roof rails cannot use this crossbar system without first having rails installed.

What is the weight limit for this crossbar system?

The Sprinter Van Crossbars carry a 200 lb weight limit suggestion. This applies to the combined load placed on both crossbars, including any mounting hardware, cargo carriers, or accessories attached to them.

Which crossbar width should I choose, Standard 59.75" or Wide 71"?

Both widths of the Sprinter Van Crossbars fit the same range of Sprinter models and roof heights. The Standard 59.75" width suits most cargo boxes and general-purpose carriers, while the Wide 71" option provides additional span for wider loads such as surfboards, kayak saddles, or oversized cargo configurations.

How long does installation take and are modifications to the van required?

The Sprinter Van Crossbar system installs in approximately one hour. The towers attach to the factory OEM roof rails without drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications to the van body, and the crossbars can be removed cleanly if no longer needed.
