8020 Style Aluminum Extrusion is a popular DIY material and it makes the great base for a flexible roof rack system. The only trick is how do you attach this extrusion to the roof of your Ram Promaster. Don't worry, we are here to help. Combine a Set of our 8020 Adapter Brackets with each set of our Ram Promaster Roof Rack Brackets and you will be good to go.
We designed our 8020 brackets so that when you mount your cross bars flush with your side rails you only have a 1/2" clearance between the bottom of your cross bars and the highest point of your roof. Our 8020 Adapter Brackets are precision laser cut out of 5052 Aluminum, formed, and then black anodized for that extra corrosion resistance and a nice finished look. Our formed bracket design is bent just over 90 degrees to compensate for the slight roof angles where your rack brackets attach to. Each bracket includes the stainless steel hardware you need to secure your 15 Series (1.5") Aluminum Extrusion 8020 Profile to our bracket. As of 4/11/2021 the provided hardware is now all Stainless Steel including the t-nuts.
If you are building your rack out of 8020 you should definitely check out our Flush Mount Solar Panel Brackets. If you have purchased other brackets go ahead and return them. You will just end up having to modify them or struggle with them to try and achieve the same look, but you won't. Our brackets will give you an easy to install sleek looking aerodynamic installation that will outlast your van. Click here to check out these Flush Mount Solar Panel Brackets!
As always if you have any questions about how to use these brackets, how to install them, common configurations, or other questions about your project let us know. We are here to help!
