The FORD TRANSIT HEADLINER SHELF 3.0 CURTAIN ROD AND LINER is a highly-rated, easy-to-install, and perfectly fitting overhead storage solution for Ford Transit vans from 2014 onwards. It offers strong, durable storage above the driver and passenger seats without requiring any modifications to the van. The product includes an aluminum shelf, powder-coated hardware, and mounting brackets for a straightforward setup.

"The shelf is great. But the installation instructions could have been better."
"Good price. Love the l-track attachment points for accessories."
"The shelf and bracket are pretty good. A slightly thicker metal would sturdy it up a bit more. I think just a thicker bracket would make a big difference, but it should be fine. The instructions really need to be redone. They leave off details and don't mention that the curtain rod needs to be installed before putting the shelf on, since you can't get to the bolts once it is in place. Mine was also missing a bolt but had extra of other items."
"Killer product. Wish the curtain was an option for this? 🤷🏼"
"The Transit Headliner shelf was well packaged, and arrived soon after purchase. Installation was straightforward, fast, and can be performed by one person. Instructions are well written and easy to follow. The shelf looks fantastic and provides plenty of room for all of our window covers and a few other lightweight items. Highly recommended!"
"I wasn't using the Ford Headliner at all until I saw this product. Having a wide space means I can put my window covers up there when not in use. I plan to add an insulated curtain to keep the front of the van more comfortable on hot days. I didn't bother attaching the felt headliner as I was not sure I wanted to cover the vents, but it stays in place thanks to the cutouts for the bolts."
"Product is okay. Looks good. Lightweight. Holds my window shades well, although it would be nice if it was a little wider so the curtains don't rest on the back of the seat. The one-page written instructions lack step by step detail and include blurry photos. Totally useless to me. White Top Adventures website has installation videos for Sprinters, but not for Transits. Took a good deal of trial and error to finish installation, but I figured it out by watching other people's videos online for installing similar products. Most people want to wait until the shelf is installed to measure the distance from curtain rod to floor before ordering curtains. The curtain rod design makes it impossible to get a wrench on the bolt that holds the curtain rod to the curtain rod bracket, so you have to remove the bracket, which is blocked by the curtain rod. It's a bit of work to get the rod bracket off the shelf, slide the curtains on, then re-install the rod. Poor design imho"
"Instructions were lacking. Info regarding sizing for tools, Inventory check list, better pictures would help a lot. Shelf is sturdy."
"Perfect!"
"Disappointed in directions. All YouTubes I found were for Sprinter install. Directions were contradictory for Transit, so it took three attempts to get it right! Now loving it."
Will this shelf fit my Ford Transit? Which years and roof heights does it cover?
The Ford Transit Headliner Shelf fits mid and high roof Ford Transit vans from 2014 through 2024+. It does not fit low roof Transit vans. Confirm your roof height before ordering. If you have a 2020+ Transit, see the factory bracket note below.
There's a factory bracket in the way during install on my 2020+ Transit — what do I do?
This is a known issue on some 2020+ Ford Transit models. A factory overhead bracket can interfere with the shelf installation. Contact us at info@whitetopadventures.com with your year and trim and we'll walk you through the workaround. This is a simple fix once you know what to do.
What is the middle hole on the shelf for?
The middle hole aligns with a factory hole in the Transit's overhead console area — it is a standard mounting point that corresponds to the van's factory structure. It is normal for nothing to be in the factory hole from the factory. It is used as part of the shelf mounting on some Transit configurations.
Do you make a shelf cover for the Transit like you do for the Sprinter?
A Ford Transit headliner shelf cover is in development. Sign up for restock notifications on the product page to be the first to know when it launches. Currently unavailable — do not purchase the Sprinter version as a substitute, it will not fit.
