    How to fit roof bars and cross bars to your VW T5 or VW T6 TransporterHere JK's Mechanic Mark Mark shows us how to fit roof bars and cross bars to your VW T5 or T6 Transporter.  To find out more about our Roof Bars or Cross Bars visit visit our Roof Bars and Cross Bars page.How to Fit Roof Bars and Crossbars to Your VW Transporter Here’s a quick guide on how to install a set of roof bars and supporting cross bars on your VW T5 or VW T6. Whether you’re planning a road trip with your Transporter and need to maximize storage space, or just like the look, you’ll be able to fit a set of roof rack bars in about half an hour if you follow these steps. Fitting roof bars and crossbars can make a real difference to how much you can use your van, allowing you to carry bulky items such as bikes, kayaks, or luggage with ease. In this guide, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of fitting roof bars and crossbars to your vehicle, ensuring a secure and hassle-free installation. Step 1: Get everything ready Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary parts and tools handy. This includes the roof bars and crossbars themselves, as well as the fittings which they’re supplied with. You’ll also need silicone sealant, a 5mm allen key, a screwdriver, and the instructions! Step 2: Fitting the roof bars Start by using a 5mm allen key to remove the blanking screws from the roof of your vehicle.You’ll likely need to use a step ladder to get to these blanking screws, so we recommend that you have someone with you to help keep you safe and steady while you’re up there. With the blanking screws removed, apply silicone sealant around the holes to prevent water from getting in and causing damage to your van. Once the sealant is set, place the spacers on the roof to create a flat surface for the roof bars to sit on.You can now attach the gaskets to the roof bars and position them on the spacers.Secure the roof bars in place using the bolts provided, and check to make sure that you’ve got a snug fit.Once you’re happy with how everything is fitting together, tighten the bolts evenly along the length of the roof bars.Insert blanking bungs into the remaining holes to complete the installation. Step 3: Fitting the crossbars Start by assembling the cross bars by attaching the ends and rubber gaskets. Loosen the clamps underneath the crossbars so they’re ready to install. Position the crossbars in between the roof bars, and make sure they’re evenly spaced. This step is definitely easier and safer when you’ve got someone else with you! Tighten the clamps on the cross bars using a screwdriver, and make sure they’re secured firmly. Check that the crossbars are straight, and adjust if necessary.Finish up by inserting blanking caps to cover any exposed holes and complete the installation. Step 4: Final checks Once all roof bars and crossbars are fitted, double-check that everything is securely tightened and properly aligned. Test the stability of the bars by gently applying pressure, and making sure that they’re not wobbling or shifting in place. You can go back and adjust the cross bars or roof bars if you think they need it, but if you’re happy with how it all looks and feels then you’re all done! Safety Tips Since you’ll be working at height (even if it’s just a little bit off the ground!) we strongly suggest that you have someone else with you to help keep you safe, and to pass you tools, parts, and tea to make the whole job go faster! Final Thoughts Fitting a set of roof bars and crossbars to your VW Transporter is a straightforward process, and can greatly enhance its functionality. By following this step-by-step guide, you can confidently install these accessories and prepare your van for your next adventure.

  • How to fit side bars to your VW T5 or VW T6 Transporter

    How to fit side bars to your VW T5 or VW T6 Transporter

    How to fit side bars to your VW T5 or VW T6 TransporterWe show you how simple it is to fit side bars to your VW T5, T5.1, T6 and T6.1 Transporter. To find out more about our sidebars visit visit our VW T5 - T6 side bars pageHow to fit a set of side bars to your VW Transporter Here’s a quick guide to installed a set of side bars to your Volkswagen Transporter. Whether you’re looking to protect the sides of your van, or just want an aesthetic upgrade, you’ll be able to fit a pair of side bars in no time. This guide will walk you through the steps for fitting side bars to your vehicle, and have your T5 or T6 looking totally different in no time.   Step One: Getting everything ready Before you start, you’ll need to gather up all the tools that you’ll need, so that everything’s in easy reach. There’s nothing worse than having to stop half way through a project to find the right size socket! The tools you’ll need are: a 16mm spanner, a 13mm spanner, an 8mm and a 10mm socket, a pair of safety glasses, and additional tools for removing plastic parts of your Transporter’s undertray. If you’ve got your side bars from Just Kampers, they’ll come with the fixings needed to fit them, but you may need to track down some nuts, bolts, and washers if you’ve got a set of side bars which don’t include them. Step Two: Preparing your Transporter Carefully lift your van up onto axle stands, taking sure to use the correct jacking points underneath your Transporter and a jack which can support the weight of your vehicle. Once that’s done, you’ll need to access the underside of the van to remove the fixings from the sides of the underbelly pan, using your sockets. Make sure you set the pan’s securing bolts aside for later, so you know where they are! You don’t need to remove the whole pan, just removing the side bolts will give you access to the area you’ll need for fitting the side bar mounting brackets. Step Three: Installing the mounting brackets Take your four mounting brackets and sort your front brackets from the rear, and the nearside (left) from the offside (right). When it comes time to fit the relevant bracket to the correct place on the vehicle, you’ll only need to lift the plastic pan away from the underside of your vehicle, so that you can get to the mounting points for the brackets. At the front of your Transporter you’ll find a pair of rubber bungs on either side of the vehicle, which you’ll need to remove so that you can install your mounting bracket. Line up the holes for the fixings, and then slot the bolt through, followed by the fixing plate. Push the bracket up in place over the bolts, and then secure it with the plain washer, locking washer, and then the nut. Do them up hand tight for now, so that they’re held in place. You’ll need to go back and tighten them up properly with your socket set later, however. Step Four: Fitting the Side Bars Now you’re ready to fit the side bars to the mounting brackets. Before you do so, it’s a good idea to test the thread on the bolts from your fitting kit on the side bars themselves, to make sure that they fit properly. It’s much easier to test this out now than to find out you’ve got your bolts mixed up during the actual installation! All you need to do now is to rest the side bars on the ground and align them with the mounting brackets, then slide the side bars into position, ensuring they cover the brackets evenly. You can adjust the side bars slightly from side to side, to make sure they’re looking exactly how you want them. Once you’re happy with how the side bars are sitting, you’ll just need to tighten the fixing bolts holding the mounting brackets to your vehicle, and then secure the bolts securing the side bars to the mounting brackets. It’s important to use the correct tools to make sure that these are properly secured, and won’t shake loose as you drive. Step Five: Final adjustments You may find that you need to cut some small holes or notches into the plastic under tray to ensure that it fits correctly over the mounting brackets, but if you’re careful and only cut away what you need to, it won’t cause any problems.  With all of this done, you can apply some underseal or rust prevention such as nuxudol or Waxoyl to prevent the underside of your Transporter from being damaged by water, mud, and general road grime. Once that’s all done you can carefully lower your van back to the ground, and allow the underseal some time to dry and set if you’ve applied any. And that’s it, you’re done! We hope you found this guide helpful, and hope you enjoy your new side bars!{{widget type="Magento\CatalogWidget\Block\Product\ProductsList" template="Magento_CatalogWidget::product/widget/content/grid.phtml" anchor_text="" id_path="" show_pager="0" products_count="5" condition_option="sku" condition_option_value="" type_name="Catalog Products List" conditions_encoded="^[`1`:^[`aggregator`:`all`,`new_child`:``,`type`:`Magento||CatalogWidget||Model||Rule||Condition||Combine`,`value`:`1`^],`1--1`:^[`operator`:`()`,`type`:`Magento||CatalogWidget||Model||Rule||Condition||Product`,`attribute`:`sku`,`value`:``^]^]" sort_order="price_low_to_high"}}{{widget type="Magento\CatalogWidget\Block\Product\ProductsList" template="Magento_CatalogWidget::product/widget/content/grid.phtml" anchor_text="" id_path="" show_pager="0" products_count="5" condition_option="sku" condition_option_value="J29213" type_name="Catalog Products List" conditions_encoded="^[`1`:^[`aggregator`:`all`,`new_child`:``,`type`:`Magento||CatalogWidget||Model||Rule||Condition||Combine`,`value`:`1`^],`1--1`:^[`operator`:`()`,`type`:`Magento||CatalogWidget||Model||Rule||Condition||Product`,`attribute`:`sku`,`value`:`J29213`^]^]" sort_order="position_by_sku"}}Did you know that our colleagues at Just Kampers Insurance have been offering specialist vehicle insurance since 1998?You can get a great deal on insurance for a huge range of vehicles, from daily drivers to treasured campervans, and everything in between.

Fully pull-tested and M1 certified: The easy spinner double seat swivel base has been out through pull testing and has received its M1 certifications for passing this test. Pull testing is the go-to safety test for ensuring the mounts and fixings of vehicle seats are strong and secure enough to withstand the pressures of a vehicle collision. The test simulates a crash at 30 miles per hour into solid concrete and subjects the seat to the same pressures experienced during such a crash. Seats which pass this test are awarded the M1 standard, which has been set out by the European Union for passenger-carrying vehicles that carry no more than eight seats. The pull test also ensures that the seatbelt mounting points remain located in the correct position, in relation to an adult's hip and shoulder. Having these mounting points placed correctly reduces the risk of severe injury in the event of a crash.
