Hi Stuart,
The Front Runner Slimpro Van Roof Rack (117-1/8" long x 57-15/16" wide) # FR62VV, is a great match for your 2019 Ford Transit Connect.
The nice thing is that it installs using the existing holes in your roof, no drilling needed. I’ve attached a couple of images from the instructions that show the process. You’ll just need to remove the rubber plugs in the roof, and then the rack mounts with the included brackets and hardware: 10mm plastic spacers, M8 x 35 button head bolts, M8 x 16 flat washers, and M8 spring washers, all included in the kit.
I also attached the full instruction manual if you want to take a closer look.
By the way, what are you planning to use the rack for? Always fun to hear about how people are gearing up!
