Question:
Hello. A few q’s about Item # TH301668. Is this meant to be used with roof rails or just directly into the roof track? This is meant for the roof mount version, Or the rack mount version? Could you also use these to install Thule roof bars?

Expert Reply:
The Thule HideAway Awning Adapter # TH301668 that you referenced needs to only be used with a Thule HideAway awning on Mercedes Sprinter vans that have tracks present. It sounds like you are wanting a track setup that can have a Thule roof rack installed in it which we can help with. We have 31-1/4 inch long tracks like with # RRRTC8JWMY11 or 55 inch long tracks with # RTC14.
The right parts for that will consist of the following parts (the correct width of crossbars will depend on how far apart your tracks are. You want the bars to be wider than the tracks):
- Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet # THKIT3101
- Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH460R
