barn doors

I'm starting with this door as it's simpler than the nearside which has the locking mechanism. First, remove the plylining and door lining card on the barn door. Then remove the plylining with box on the offside wall. Then remove the offside rear quarter lining card (grey hardboard). The...

I've been looking into how people deal with the problem of two tone paintwork/wrap when you have barn doors. With a tailgate it's easy, and there's a natural line that is pleasing to look at, but I'm not 100% on the normal approach to barn doors - to split at the top of the tail lights, or...

Hi Guys Just purchased a barn door awning from Kiravans, seems a good bit of kit - however it would not fit my van as the aluminium pole provided to fit between the open doors was too long! (approx 10cm) Apparently, some vans doors do not open quite as wide as others? Kiravans have acknowledged...

Hi all. We have a T6 Transporter with barn doors and have had a Fiamma 2 bike carry rack fitted to it. One of the 2 upper door latches (the rhs one when you look at the rear of the van) seems to be twisted slightly and doesn’t seem the be hooked over the door properly. The other day it popped...

Hi. I have just replaced both rear doors on my 2016 T6 as they were damaged. The replacement doors came off a 2019 T6.1 The locking mechanism is different as the newer door as electronic actuator to open the door, whereas the older doors had the manual type. The problem I have is when I now...

Vanshades Barn Door Window Pods We have just had a pair of Barn Door Window Pods fitted (see Vanshades). The Barn Door pods will not be to everyone's taste. For a start, the fit is not smooth, like the side windows presumably are. The problem is, the barn doors curve both across the door (hinge...

Good evening all, can I ask if anyone has had an issue with replacement rear license bulbs, I have replaced the standard ones for led. However I have had 2 sets that I have fitted in 12 months but they either flicker or when you tighten them in they go off. I have just fitted another new set...

Hi has anyone got kicking around a NSR top body striker for barn door, the loop type that the door latches too and if so the two bolts also

I seem to have lost this part from the rear left door (top). I have no idea what to search for online and if I can even get this part on its own or part of the full mechanism itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi having just returned from a 10 day tour of Cornwall in which we braved Ciara and Dennis (lovely couple really!) I have been trying to source a nearside rear door centre catch/stay thingymabob which snapped off when the wind caught the door and blew it beyong it's normal position, fortunately...

Does anyone know of a way to make the edges of the carpet around the barn doors look neater? I've done the usual draw around the the edge of the white part when the doors are closed so as not get the edges wet. And have glued the stretch carpet on up to the line as neat as I can. I've also seen...

When we travel we use a Thule Backup box on our towbar, but we would like to take our 4 bikes with us as well. The problem is we have barn doors. I've seen suction cup bike racks and was wondering if anyone had used them on their barn doors? Or is there another solution to mounting 4 bikes on...

Looking to replace these bolts with stainless anyone know the size? Cheers

Finally fitted the spoiler supplied by THQ which looks great and really changes the van. However the right half of the spoiler moved when fixing unbeknown to me as it was held by tape and has left a slight gap on the wing tip. The 'master seal" has now bonded. Can the spoiler be removed and...

Hi all, been lurking in the shadows for a bit but finally picked up my T6 at the weekend. couple little things done already and I’m booked in for suspension and wheels come September. One thing I really would like to do is get rid of those rear wipers on the barn doors. I’ve had a search but...

Hi All, I have a really simple question. I am looking to get a rear spoiler for my Kombi, but do I go for a Fibreglass version, or a plastic version that is less than half the price? Your opinions and experiences will be gratefully received.
