I found the template useful but had to add 15mm to the width, so I cut a template from 3mm MDF and trim to fit nice and snug. Final shelf came out greatl, I am very pleased.

Made in the USA. Looking for a pre-built shelf? Check out our Sprinter Aluminum Headliner Shelf.
A unique van must be built, not bought. Use our 3D-scanned template to craft a perfectly tailored sprinter van headliner shelf out of plywood, then paint, stain, or fabric wrap it to perfectly match your van’s interior. Mount it with the included hardware and call it a day.
Stop looking at that unused space above the driver and passenger seat and turn it into functional sprinter overhead storage. A headliner shelf means the end of shuffling around bags, jackets and personal items around the front cabin. It’s time to increase your sprinter overhead storage.
You'll save 70% compared to a generic metal shelf, which means investing that hard earned cash towards a lithium battery bank, van awning, or your next trip
Detailed instructions walk you through the entire process of installing your overhead shelf, prompt service is one email away to get answers to your questions. Save yourself from the endless scrolling on YouTube or the Mercedes Sprinter forums and nail down a solution to this problem now.
Unlike other manufacturers who ran off to lower-cost overseas manufacturing (while pretending like you wouldn't notice), we've retained all our manufacturing in the US and partnered with suppliers who employ those with visual and learning disabilities.
Never forget how expensive a divorce could be. Your clever and forward thinking approach toward mercedes sprinter van storage will win you the approval of your spouse and reduce the chances of a messy split.

Was verry handy and easy to work with the template. We are not ready yet but it works already. Great
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: Hi Martha, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and sharing a photo of your build. We are glad to hear the template was easy to work with and that the shelf is already working well for your setup. If any questions come up down the line, please feel free to reach out. We are always happy to help.
Easy to install, I modified the screws to attach the Wood board, angle support are working great. Thanks, Claude
Easy to fit, clear concise instructions
The template and brackets were easy to use and fit well. The bottom is covered with foam and fabric, the top is just fabric. The rear edge was rounded on the bottom corner for ease on the head if/when it was bumped.
Einfache Montage, gute Schablone, es fallen allerdings Zollgebühren an
Perfect fit still needs carpet lining but looking good just what I wanted.
Stoked with the product and end result! Would highly recommend.

Love it . Easy to make and install
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: Skookum setup Lou, clever move with the underhang curtain rod. Hope you're out there enjoying the trails with the new setup!
Very easy to follow instructions. While I thought it may require an additional hand to install once everything was cut and fit, turned out I didn’t need that extra hand. Quick shipping taboot

Store owner replied: Glad to hear it was all smooth sailing Toby. Safe travels this spring.
Such a wonderful use of space for storing everything from micro spikes, umbrella, window covers, electrical, charging, and more. I am very happy with my purchase, and the price you guys rock!
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: Luke ~ great to see and hear about your experience with the shelf! The van is coming along nicely, hope you've got some fun planned in it this spring. All the best ~
We were so excited to find the brackets and a template for the overhead shelf. It made it super easy to build and install perfect — the first time! That is probably a first for us to not have to redo something :-). We covered it in the Marathon Plus fabric and it looks fantastic - plus a little padding never hurts. Great place to store our window covers and our dog ball basket.
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: Agreed, Maroyln! The joys of not having to do it twice. The marathon plus fabric has a great texture to it, good choice. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience... enjoy your van travels this Spring!
Details see on our Instaprofile @vanture_is_calling 😍 we love the shelf. perhaps it would be good if there were 2 more supports in the rear area (towards the windshield - see 3rd photo). Especially if, like us, a plastic plate is used instead of a wooden plate (because of the weight). Or do you have an ofher idea of how we could reinforce this so that the plate doesn't sag there? Thanks again - great product!! Suna
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: Hello Suna! Nice to see your handiwork and a well crafted van interior. It sounds like you've used something other than plywood for the shelf itself? If this is the case I would make sure that you've got a cross-bar support above the brackets, a strip of wood or metal should do it.
Easy to follow template! Love the look and all the additional storage in my van. Thank you!!
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: Right on, Christine. Hope that newfound storage serves you well on your travels this spring & beyond. All the best from us!
Template was awesome everything worked as advertised. Cut our shelf out of an old desktop 3/4” pine
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: Hey David, fantastic looking setup you've got there. Thanks for giving the kit a try, very glad to know it served you well. Safe travels this spring!
This was a great shopping experience. Even though my headliner shelf kit had to make it through customs it was still speedy! Instructions were very clear and precise. Including hints and tips and pictures. Sean is very good with replying quickly to any questions regarding your order. Thanks!

Store owner replied: Hi Jim ~ appreciate you leaving us this feedback. We are here if you need anything else, sean@vancillary.com. All the best!
Perfect for what I was looking for. I got the kit and the fit was spot on. Used 3/4’’ marine ply for added strength, and painted brackets and bolts black to match. Glued foam an fabric on with 3M then added nice piece of black walnut with inlays. Looks Great!
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: wow, love your take on the shelf, John. Looks like you were able to customize it perfectly for your needs. Thanks for the photo!
This template and hardware were just what I needed. It was super easy to construct and install. The final product end up being super clean; even looks OEM. Definitely recommend this product!
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: Hi Quinton, glad to hear the headliner shelf kit worked for you. Your shelf looks awesome and the colour matches perfectly!
Very happy with the Vancillary headliner shelf! Very straightforward build and installation. I added to the shelf a couple of LED lights with the toggle switch above the seats and a switch/dimmer for my Thule awning light strip (next project to the power both). My upholstery skills need more practice but I am happy with how it turned out.

Store owner replied: Phil, great work you've done here. The added lumens to the cabin space ought to make it much warmer for reading or dining into the evening hours. Appreciate you taking the time to share your work with us, and inspire others to do something similar.
Hi this was an easy project to complete .I made a different opening that creates a oval look to the enclosure.I like this a lot .I would take a picture but it's at a shop getting upholstered. Thanks for being so quick at sending the template .It fit perfectly.
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: Archangelo, I'm glad to hear the kit made it easy for you to make your vision come to life. Looks like a sleek, well integrated shelf you've made. I hope the rest of your van build goes equally well, or better. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with our product.
Easy to install , fit perfectly, and have a plan for future van 😁

Store owner replied: Fantastic Mathieu - thanks for sharing your work! Let us know how we can be of help on the next build ~ take care until then.
Vancillary kit with a tweak !
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: We like the cable retention instead of the flange, Steve. Glad to hear the kit worked for you.
The product is perfect. All what you need to DIY is there. I recommend it worths the price.
This product is the bomb. I was looking at similar shelves for months and found them way too expensive. And then I stumbled upon vancillary products. The brackets are top quality, and the templates are spot on. I could use my own plywood and it all matches the cabinets. Recommend to anyone who has basic skills. I nailed it myself and my skills are limited.

This was so easy and looks Factory installed! This was so easy to install! I even carpeted it with no problem. It looks like it was factory installed. It arrived quickly and very easy instructions.
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: Mari, you've done great work. Many thanks for sharing your experience and photos - following up with you on what fabric you used!
Usefull solution. The final result has been very good and I am pleased with the solution.
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: Finn ~ the dark fabric perfectly matches your interior. Great result. We're glad that the headliner kit worked for you.
Best for the budget Was great . Loved the set up. Couple have used a bit more guidance on how to best to use the template. Which line to cut on. But made for a great shelf .
Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf - DIY Kit | vancillary
Store owner replied: Hey Sam. Your van looks great! Would you share a bit more about how the instructions were unclear? We'll do our best to straighten them up so that no one else runs into the confusion you did.
This is a great shortcut for DIY’ers. If you have any experience templating large curved surfaces you will appreciate this product. It is on the pricey side but saves a substantial amount of time and frustration. Some reviewers have complained about the height but it is very well thought out as you still get plenty of space above your sun visor and it reduces the frequency of bashing your head off of the lip(which will still happen). Great customer service/support from these guys too.
Template made a gap in the front above the visors and is pushed flat to the center portion of the headliner. Rear of the board is about 1/4 from the back of the headliner. I expected more for the price.
This kit is worth every penny. The brackets and templates make cutting and installing the shelf much easier and is a much more economical option than buying pre-made shelf.
Super easy to build, and customizing it to your vibe and aesthetic is the best part. Had some questions, and the gang at Vancillary were super fast to answer. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!!!
This is great, it allows you to make exactly what you want. I wanted an aluminum L beam across the back so things wouldn't fall out and for strength. And I wanted it to match with the interior, I used speaker carpet. The kit has great plans, quality materials and fits perfectly.
This is an amazing idea! Super helpful and completely worth it. My husband I put it up together. You do need to have some skills at the jigsaw but otherwise it’s easy! It took us less than an hour to cut and install everything . Thank you for producing this!!!
Very easy system to install and they have great customer service. Very happy with the outcome.
Received the package quickly. Followed the simple online instructions, jig sawed for a bit, few drill holes and then applied some fabric.... Only 4 screws need to be loosened inside the van, and the mounting hardware is installed. Locked it down and all is good. Looking forward for the first trip with the new shelf. Had a small issue, and these guys got back to be so quick.. love great customer service!
The Vancillary Sprinter Van Headliner Shelf kit made it as simple as pie to add an overhead storage area above the driver and passenger area. Following the template and their directions it came out looking like a factory installation. Everything fit perfectly. With the Baltic Birch plywood, spray adhesive, and material from Hobby Lobby it cost about $165 dollars including the Vancillary kit. I couldn't be happier with the way this project turned out.
This shelf fit perfectly in our 2010 Pleasureway Ascent (2008 Sprinter). We followed the directions on the Vancillary website without exception. Admittedly, I was nervous when I measured my van and the template. I thought the shelf would be too wide and never fit. I emailed Sean to verify I had the correct template. He responded really quickly and confirmed it would work and I should go for it. I’m so happy I did. I am a novice wood worker (this was my first time using a router- I love how finished it looks without the sharp wood corners. I used 1/2” prefinished Baltic birch. We can still easily walk from the cab to the back and it sits well above the air ride controls. We’re so happy we went this route and made our own!
I installed this using 3/4" birch plywood for the shelf. Worked very well. The height is very good in that I allows for storage, but it isn't terribly intrusive into the cabin area for me and my wife. She's 5'7", and I'm 5'9" for reference. I put some material on the bottom of the plywood to reduce reflection in the cabin, and I have yet to completely trim out the front. Well, and I need to complete my Sprinter conversion.
