Pro Tip: Before lifting the side rails into place and tightening down your crossbars, run all your off-road light bar cables and solar leads through the channel mounts. It is vastly easier to zip-tie and manage your wiring harness while the panels are loose on your workbench than trying to snake your fingers underneath an already torqued low-profile tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePRODUCT OVERVIEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe Rover Vans Sprinter 144\" Sleek Roof Rack is engineered for style, performance, and ultimate layout versatility.
