Question:

Would you happen know if the holes in my 2015 transit connect have threaded sleeves? I have a headliner will that may have to be pierced to accommodate the bolts? Waiting for your reply. Thank you.

I'm not 100 percent certain what you mean by "threaded sleeves" but if your have a 2015 Ford Transit Connect with a long wheelbase, you will need to drill holes in your roof in order to attach the Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks # RRRTS547, which is what you will mount the rest of the roof rack system to; there are no threaded holes with which to install this rack.

Once the tracks are in place you will complete the installation by adding the Roof Rack Leg Spacer Blocks # RRQMHD05-2, Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs # RRRLT600 and Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2.
