Installation instructions

Installation

Assembling and installing the Mercedes Sprinter DRIFTR ladder is easy. Assemble it loosely on the ground, then choose a location on your Sprinter where you’d like to install the ladder; this should be on the side opposite the van’s door, so the ladder doesn’t block the door’s sliding track. Hold the ladder in place with a friend’s help and mark the holes at the top of the ladder (onto the side of the roof rack) and underneath the van (on the pinch weld). These marks will indicate where to bolt your ladder in, so make sure the ladder is straight, level, and aesthetically pleasing before you proceed. Drill into the rack and the pinch weld where you’ve marked, then install and fasten bolts on the top and bottom of the ladder. Push the middle of the ladder in to set the desired distance from the van and tighten the four bolts on each side of the ladder. Double-check that the bolts are secure and your DRIFTR ladder is ready to use. This DRIFTR ladder is compatible with Mercedes Springer High Roof Vans in 144, 170, and 170 EXT lengths, manufactured in 2014 or later.
