Product Description

These brackets mount the Fiamma F43 awning to right-hand drive VW T5 and T6 Transporter vans. They're engineered specifically for the roof profile of these vans, which differs from left-hand drive models due to the sliding door position and roof configuration. The deep black powder-coated finish matches most factory roof bars and accessories, while the Italian-made construction uses corrosion-resistant materials tested for repeated setup and takedown cycles. Installation requires drilling into the van's gutter channel or roof mounting points, following Fiamma's template system that positions the brackets to create proper awning tension and water runoff angle.

The bracket design accounts for the T5's slightly different roof curvature compared to the T6, though both generations use the same mounting points. You'll need to specify your van's year and body style when fitting, as panel vans, kombis, and California models have different roof strengthening that affects bracket placement. The F43 awning slides into these brackets using Fiamma's standard rail system, locking with spring-loaded pins that hold the cassette firmly whilst allowing quick removal when needed. Load capacity matches Fiamma's specifications for the F43 series, supporting the awning's weight plus typical wind loading for a 2.6m deployment.

Compatibility extends across both short and long wheelbase T5 and T6 models manufactured from 2003 onwards, covering the T5.0, T5.1, T5.2, and T6.0 variants before the T6.1 facelift altered some roof dimensions. These aren't universal van brackets retrofitted to VW dimensions. Fiamma designed them around precise measurements of the Transporter's gutter system and roof pressing, which means they sit flush without gaps that could let water track into the interior. The brackets work with standard height roofs only, not high-top conversions that change the mounting surface geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these brackets fit both VW T5 and T6 Transporter models?

Yes, these Fiamma brackets are designed to fit both VW T5 and T6 Transporter models manufactured from 2003 onwards, including T5.0, T5.1, T5.2, and T6.0 variants. They work with both short and long wheelbase configurations, as well as panel vans, kombis, and California models. The brackets account for the slight roof curvature differences between T5 and T6 generations whilst using the same mounting point positions. They are specifically engineered for right-hand drive models only, as the roof profile and sliding door position differs from left-hand drive variants.

Do I need to drill holes in my van roof to fit these brackets?

Installation requires drilling into the van's gutter channel or designated roof mounting points following Fiamma's supplied template system. The template positions the brackets precisely to create proper awning tension and correct water runoff angle. The mounting points are designed to align with the roof's existing strengthening structure, and the brackets include sealing to prevent water ingress. This is a permanent installation method that provides the secure fixing needed to support the F43 awning's weight and typical wind loading during use.

Are these brackets compatible with high-top or converted Transporter roofs?

No, these brackets are designed for standard height factory roofs only. High-top conversions alter the mounting surface geometry and roof profile, which means the brackets won't sit flush or align correctly with the changed dimensions. If you have a pop-top or elevating roof conversion, you'll need to check whether the conversion retained the original gutter channels and mounting positions before fitting these brackets. Most professional conversions modify the roof structure in ways that require different mounting solutions.

Why are right-hand drive brackets different from left-hand drive versions?

Right-hand drive VW Transporters have the sliding door on the opposite side compared to left-hand drive models, which affects the roof pressing, strengthening structure, and gutter channel configuration. The roof profile has subtle differences in curvature and mounting point positions to accommodate the different door arrangement. Fiamma engineers these brackets to match the precise measurements of each roof variant, so they sit flush without gaps and align with the factory strengthening. Using left-hand drive brackets on a right-hand drive van would result in improper fit, potential water leaks, and incorrect awning positioning.

Can I remove the F43 awning from the brackets when not in use?

Yes, the F43 awning slides into the brackets using Fiamma's standard rail system with spring-loaded pins that lock the cassette firmly in place. You can release these pins to slide the awning out for storage or security when the van is parked for extended periods. The brackets remain permanently fixed to the roof, ready for quick reinstallation of the awning when needed. This design allows you to remove the awning weight and wind resistance for everyday driving whilst keeping the mounting system in place for weekend trips or holidays.

Will the deep black finish match my van's existing roof accessories?

The deep black powder-coated finish is designed to coordinate with most factory roof bars, roof rails, and accessories fitted to VW Transporters. Whilst it may not be an exact match to every aftermarket accessory, the black finish provides a neutral appearance that blends with most roof-mounted equipment. The powder coating provides corrosion resistance and durability against UV exposure, road salt, and repeated cleaning. The finish is tested for colour stability across the temperature ranges and weather conditions typical in UK use.
