Sprinter Van Front & Rear Ceiling Transition Bracket Kit

The Moonraker Design Co. Sprinter Van Front & Rear Ceiling Transition Brackets are part of our Sprinter 144 Van Ceiling Support Structural Kit and solve one of the trickiest parts of building a finished ceiling in a Sprinter van: creating clean, structural termination points at the front headliner roof rib and rear D-pillar.

Unlike the main roof ribs, these areas don’t provide a simple, flat surface for terminating ceiling panels, cabinetry framing, or aluminum extrusion. The factory geometry changes significantly at both ends of the van, leaving you to fabricate a solution or compromise how your ceiling is supported.

Our Front & Rear Ceiling Transition Supports are designed specifically around these factory surfaces, creating a strong, predictable structure to build from.

What They Do

  • Create structural termination points at the front headliner roof rib and rear D-pillar
  • Provide consistent modular machine hardware attachment points for your ceiling panels at these transitions. 
  • Help keep ceiling panels tight, flat, and properly supported at the ends of the ceiling
  • Provide termination points for the 30x30mm MiSUMi aluminum extrusion when used with our Upper Cabinet Ceiling Bracket system
  • Unique relief-cut geometry allows the bracket to conform to the factory rib curvature for a precise, flush fit.
  • Eliminate the need to fabricate custom brackets around the complicated factory geometry at the front and rear of the van.

These are the same Front & Rear Transition Supports included with our complete Sprinter Van Ceiling Structural Kit, but are available separately for builders who only need to solve the front and rear ceiling transitions.

Includes: Front and Rear Ceiling Transition Supports & associated mounting hardware. 

Not Included: Any additional hardware to mount your ceiling to these brackets is to be sourced separately.  The hole pattern was designed for Sherex M5 Rivnuts with a 7.5mm body diameter. 

Compatibility: 2014+ Mercedes-Benz Sprinter NCV3 & VS30 vans. Compatible with both 144WB and 170WB models.

Key Features

Most van builds — DIY and commercial alike — rely on wood firing strips screwed into the roof ribs with self-tappers or wood screws. It works, until it doesn't. Wood rots, fasteners strip, and the next time you need to access something behind a panel you're dealing with single-use hardware that was never meant to come out twice.

Most van builds — DIY and commercial alike — rely on wood firing strips screwed into the roof ribs with self-tappers or wood screws. It works, until it doesn't. Wood rots, fasteners strip, and the next time you need to access something behind a panel you're dealing with single-use hardware that was never meant to come out twice.

Our ceiling kit components were designed from the ground up to replace all of that. It's a fully modular system that installs directly to your van's ceiling structure, providing robust, engineered mounting points for ceiling panels, headliners, and overhead cabinets — all at a lower profile than traditional firing strips so you're not eating into your head or wall room. Every component is secured with machine screws & rivets, which means clean installation, real torque specs, and a ceiling you can actually take apart and put back together without destroying anything. Whether you're running a simple headliner or building out a full overhead cabinet system, this kit gives you the structural foundation to do it right — and the flexibility to change your mind later.

Installation Information

Some Details on the Front & Rear Transition Pieces (including included hardware):

  • 13 - M5 Rivnuts & HW to mount the front piece. The slots are big enough vertically and laterally so you can work the curve how you like.  We went with M5 in the front because the factory holes you'll drill out are smaller, and we figure it's always best to remove as little of material as possible. 
  • 10 - M6 Rivnuts & HW to mount the rear piece. For the rear it's recommend taking a straight edge and placing it across the closest roof rib and mark with a sharpie in quite a few places to get the curve you need to match since there's nothing really to follow naturally back here. 
  • If you are using GoCode Trim pieces in the front you will need to cut down the support a bit. A hacksaw is the preferred way to do this. These brackets work with the Terrawagen front trims (our preference & what they were designed for) no problem.
