Ford Transit Custom H2 Mounting Points – How to Fit a Roof Rack to a High Roof Transit Custom

One of the most common questions we receive is how to fit a roof rack to a Ford Transit Custom High Roof (H2). Unlike the standard H1 model, the H2 doesn’t have obvious roof rack fixing points visible on the roof, which can leave owners wondering where the roof rack should be mounted.

The good news is that Ford has already marked the correct mounting positions for you. Every Ford Transit Custom H2 is equipped with six factory-marked mounting locations built into the roof structure, making it possible to safely fit vehicle-specific roof bars and roof racks.

Where Are the Roof Rack Mounting Points on a Ford Transit Custom H2?

The Ford Transit Custom High Roof (H2) uses six reinforced roof rack mounting points. These are identified by small circular dimples pressed into the roof panel during manufacture.

There are three mounting positions on each side of the roof. These dimples indicate exactly where compatible roof rack systems should be installed.

At first glance it can appear that you’ll need to measure up the roof and determine the fixing locations yourself, but the factory dimples remove the guesswork and ensure the roof rack is positioned correctly.

Do You Need to Drill a Ford Transit Custom H2 Roof?

Yes. Most Ford Transit Custom H2 roof rack systems require drilling at the six factory-marked mounting positions. The reinforced fixing locations are designed specifically for this purpose and are used by manufacturers such as Rhino Products and Van Guard.

All compatible roof racks and roof bars are supplied with vehicle-specific fitting kits and detailed installation instructions, making it straightforward to locate and prepare the fixing points correctly.
