Roof racks for T7 California

[vwcaliindobelgian]

Hi Califolks
I would like some help on buying correct roof racks to carry roof box for our new T7 California .
May I know which roof racks to buy as I don’t see any matching accessories from VW yet .

Hey.
I'm collecting my new t7 california on Wednesday, and want to put a roof rack on mine too.
Did you have any luck finding which ones work? I assume the lwb multivan has the same roof tracks but won't know for sure till I collect.
How did you get on???

I’m 99% sure the track is the same as a t6.1
I got the width down as 1060mm inner of the t-track.
And 1085mm as the outer inside edge of the t-track.
So what’s that? 25mm width.
Middle to middle is 1072.5mm ?

Also if you want really low profile feet for a Thule bars. Speak to @Johnboy
Or info@vixxos.com

127cm wingbar Evo 711320

Don’t quote me on any of this.
But it’s a start.
Picture below of my sold 6.1 with 127cm wingbars and John’s homebrew feet.
For reference.

¿Has conseguido instalar un cofre de techo con una vaca?

¿Qué modelo de barra y caja estás utilizando?

¿Qué soportes de riel estás utilizando?

Have you managed to install a roof box with a roof rack?

What model of roof bar and box are you using?

What rail brackets are you using?

I believe the T-rail on roof is same as previous California so for example, Thule fitting will work as linked here for T7 with photos:

Compatible footing kit is the important bit. They recommend 127cm bar for T7 above, but I expect other lengths will work depending on how much "overhang" you prefer.

Hi,

I have one questions regarding to Thule wingbar evo 118cm. Does it fit to VW California T7 or I have to buy new one 128cm?

What is the exact distance between roof rack? I am still waiting for new T7 Calfironia...

Thank you.

I just measured mine and it looks like 118 cm will work fine, but with no "overhang" from the mount. (I have 135 cm which extends to the full roof width.) 128 sounds optimal but it depends what you want really.
