Description:
Constructed from a lightweight extruded aluminum frame, this rear passenger door gear rack is designed for 2019+ Sprinter models equipped with 180° rear door hinges. The structure provides a stable and dependable mounting base for accessories commonly carried on rear doors while keeping overall system weight to a minimum.
Installation follows a straightforward, no drill process. The rack mounts directly to the factory hinge locations and utilizes the OEM Mercedes badge openings as a third anchor point. A lower door clamp is included to improve load distribution and overall stability across the door. All installation steps can be completed with standard hand tools, and no modification to the vehicle body is required.
The rack features L-track holes and slotted mounting rails, offering compatibility with storage boxes, bike carriers, fuel containers, and other rear door equipment. Its lightweight aluminum frame adds minimal load to the door, keeping door movement consistent under everyday use.
FAQ:
1. Does this rear door gear rack work with both 180° and 270° rear door hinges, or only the 180° hinge version?
This rack is designed for vehicles equipped with 180° rear door hinges only. Vehicles with 270° hinges can be converted by replacing the hinges using parts available from Mercedes-Benz dealers.
2. Does installation require removing interior trim panels to access the hinge bolts, and what steps are involved?
No interior trim removal is required. Installation only involves removing the factory Mercedes badge to access the mounting points.
3. Can this gear rack be installed by one person? How long does installation typically take?
One person can complete the installation, though having two people makes the process easier. Typical installation time is around one hour.
4. Will adding gear to the rear door affect hinge durability, door sag, or the door’s ability to open and close normally?
No. When installed correctly, the rack does not negatively affect hinge function or door alignment.
5. Can the rear doors open fully with accessories mounted, and are there any interference concerns with the secondary door, ladders, the rear camera, or rear parking sensors?
The rear doors can still open fully, and the rack does not interfere with existing equipment such as ladders, cameras, or sensors.
6. Are there any clearance considerations when mounting storage boxes, bikes, or fuel containers—specifically around taillights, hinges, or body panels?
Yes. Clearance should be checked based on the size of the accessories being installed to ensure taillights remain visible and sensors are unobstructed.

I’m happy to give a shout out to VanLife Outfitters. These folks are an incredible example of how a company should conduct business. Although I’m building a truck camper, I have bought several things from VanLife outfitters and their customer service is bar none . I would never hesitate recommending VanLife outfitters to anyone whether they are building a van camper or boat. And I might add even a tiny home. Everyone that I’ve talked to have been nothing but incredible. In particular, Jason in technical support was an incredible blessing to me. I had a problem with the Aqua Hot Gen 1 heater I bought from them. It was not the heater fault, but something I did. Jason helped bird-dog the solution and together we got it fixed. He stuck with me, did research, and called me back several times to make sure that the problem was resolved. These people know the business, many have their on rigs, which gives them the best experience. Thanks you Vanlife Outfitters!!!!

My husband and I are doing our first vanbuild. As rookies, we have found Vanlife Outfitters to be a trusted resource for ease of product shopping and purchasing, video demonstrations, guidance and excellent customer service. They were particularly a great one-stop shop when building our electrical system.
