It's a perfect addition to the rear door platform.
Great for firewood, dirty gear or just about anything.
I did a lot of comparison shopping for a rear door storage solution for skis and bikes and this product was the clear winner. Most competitors sell the panel portion separately (sometimes in pieces) and none seemed to offer as much actual mounting area, let alone as many mounting holes. The upgrades to the way the FVCO panel is mounted to the door are great - much more robust, including two rubber plates to help distribute the forces when the door is opened and closed (very important given how thin Ford's sheet metal is).
I paired the panel with Thule SnowPack racks. These racks come with extension feet that allow the rack to mounted further away from a roof rack (or the door panel, in this case). All I had to do was drill one extra hole in each crossbar (aluminum, so no rust concerns) and I was able to mount these racks directly to the FLVC panel. The last piece of the puzzle was a powder coated aluminum shelf I found on Amazon to support the skis/boards while putting them on/taking them off. When the seasons change, I will swap the ski racks for 1up bike trays. I couldn't be happier with how this has all worked out.
Exactly what I was looking for. Great looking bumper will attach spot lights on it
I have installed our new bed and mattress but we haven’t had a chance to use it yet. But it was super easy to install and looks great! I have a Promaster 2500 HR 159”. We will be traveling cross country in the spring.
Strong, sturdy storage box. Easy to install and perfect for the job.
I am a big fan of the quality of these racks along with the massive amount of space that allows me to carry three bikes on the passenger side (with lolo racks) and Flatline boxes on the drivers side. Install was easy and the instructions are really good. I love the license plate relocation bracket with light to keep it legal. They look great, they are extremely well built, and shipping was very fast as advertised too. All in all no regrets.
A couple tips I found helpful on installation:
I marked the drill point using the paper template/marker, but I mounted the platform to the door hinges and double checked alignment before drilling. This helped me really ensure the drill hole was precise.
The limit strap screw sizes provided were the wrong size (perhaps changed with 2023+ redesign promoter), but that was an easy fix at the local hardware store.
Great box, I bought two, easy to install, light weight, I recommend it, price is little on the high end, but it is very unique box.
This is a great addition to my van. Installation was easy. I added a storage box, which installed perfectly to the platform. Thanks for great products.
Love the low mount roof rack. I ordered 4 extra cross bars for solar and anrena installation and I was dissapointed that no hardware was included with the cross bars. How hard would it have been to inclue 16 1/4 20 screws the same as are included with the roof rack so all the hardware would match?
Great products and customer service.
I asked them if they were offering any discounts, and they gave me a discount code to use at checkout. Thanks FVCO
Quality products, the packaging is the best I have ever seen! Arrived with no problems
Just Installed, very nice product! Welds are super nice. Very easy to install, make sure you have a second set of hands! Installing safari rack now!!!
Incredible! The company had fast shipping, beautiful step-by-step instructions and I love it!
The ladder arrived super well packaged and undamaged! Easy to install. I love that I had previously installed the standard roof rack from FVC and it had a retainer spot for a future ladder. When I took that off, it was very convenient to have two nuts already available without undoing a bunch of stuff to get two new ones in. Love it!
Perfect addition to my FVCO roof rack system. Wasn’t sure if i needed it at first but much easier than getting my lasdder out each time. Easy install and very sturdy.
Flatline Van Co has nailed it again! First, their products are of the highest quality that you can depend on. Second, their turn around time after initial orders are amazing quick. Lastly, in my opinion their products are reasonably priced,
This kit combined with the Lowpro roof rack and Fiamma F80s makes for a trim fitting system. It allows everything to be tucked in for a sleek system. Remember, the awning DOES NOT mount to the rack, it mounts to your roof rails. This kit just eliminates parts of the rack that get in the way of the factory awning mounting system.
I think i purchased several of Zamp and different options for the 100 watt obsidian panels these worked with some 158” malone aerobars from e-trailer to toyota sienna van 3rd Gen! So Radical! Very Robust. I replaced the hardware with stainless. Will purchase for future Zamp Obsidian Panels! Fo Sho.
I got their roof rack. It fits the contours of the roof better and any other maker on the market. I added a pair of supports and we have an additional 5’x6’ of space.
Just got their 36” cabinets and they fit the interior roof to wall contour perfectly.
Shipping was fast
Glad FVC finally came out with the surf pole for the Transit. It has been a great addition to my van. Install was relatively easy. The only thing in question was where to put it. After bringing out a couple surf boards, I decided to install it 3’ away from the ladder and it worked out great. The top mount that goes to the rack did attach a little crooked (compared to the lines on the low pro rack) even though it was level and even with the ladder. An easy tip for installing the top and making sure it’s nice and straight is to use a clamp so you can measure and adjust(picture attached).
Just installed these on my 2020 Transit and they are great. I have been waiting for FVC to come out with these along with the second bar and it was definitely worth the wait. The racks are very well built and install was super easy (I didn’t have to use the online instructions). The only issue I do have with them is that the radius of the clamps are a little smaller than the pipes that they fit on and they leave a crease on the pipe and remove any paint around them. I don’t plan on removing these, but if I do, I’ll have to touch up those spots. All in all, it’s a great addition.
For the bar install, I attached it 3’ away from the ladder. I also put the rack that goes on the ladder on the right side instead of the left to make it so a longboard will not be as close to the door.
Great product. Fit easily. Directions could have a bit more detail for dolts like me but no complaints!
