cargo tracks

Hi all- new to the forum and i searched high and low but couldn't find anything on this... what are the cargo tracks installed in my sprinter called and where can i get accessories for them? I was told they were e tracks, but pictures of e track on the internet are different... any help would be appreciated.. thanks, Toby

What year is your Sprinter?

2008

I think they are called "L" tracks. I think they're made by Sure-Lok

Some Tracks and Accessories Here

There are some measurements/dimensional drawings of the tracks on the second website.

If they match, you should have some traction now.

PS: I just noticed dimensional drawings on the Sure-Lok site too.

wondering about parts for the roof tracks. Is there a site for that or is this strickly a dealer item?

In researching this, i have found Thule parts that fit the Sprinter tracks.

I haven't seen any aftermarket accessories for the NCV3 roof rack. I haven't even been up there to measure the width or anything.

I do know that the local Thule dealer would get up there and try things out if he thought he could sell me something. Maybe you could find a similarly motivated merchant?

I was at Van Specialties ( http://www.vanspecialties.com/sprinter_vans.htm ) between ordering and picking up our van, and they had some very heavy duty stainless steel roof track brackets made especially for the NCV3 vans. I haven't been back yet, but i'm ready for something now. Has anybody else seen these?
