How many mountings are there on the roofrack you have . Some racks i have seen only have two which bolt down onto he pre holed mountings on the vans roof. Some including mine have three with the third mounting over the rear doors. if its two you have i think they should fit . If they are roof bars they will fit any connect swb or lwb . In my opinion the three mountingsare better and feel more secure . Hope this helps

Both the Mk1 and Mk2 vans only have 2 sets of mountings at the front and mid-section in both SWB and LWB .... I doubt that the post 2009 facelift version is any different.

Where would a rear mounting be achievable without drilling?

Only asking, as I don't know the answer.
2007 T230LX LWB (110PS) with aircon.

Vans are designed for people with imagination. Cars are so limiting ... what can you do with them?

The rear mounting on the roof racks are usually just feet with a rubber pad that rests on the roof.

There are racks which have bolted rear supports that go just behind the rear doors. (drilling is needed)

Nope the roof fixings are different spacings between swb & lwb.
