AbsoluT5 carpet lining

[The Bear78]

I've been carpeting mine today and the tailgate has stayed up quite happily. It still has standard Kombi struts and I couldn't get more silent coat in if I tried!

You'll be ok if you don't plan on adding a bike carrier.

I’m just doing mine with Custom Design 3.6mm ply panels. The sliding door panel has a sliver of ply at edge, around the rubber push/stopper block. Just pondering whether to carpet it, leave it ply or cut it out?

Any advice anyone? @Absolut5 - what do you do?

regards

Ian

PS perhaps more than a sliver....

That red pannel sets it off, nice job

 

[Scruffy]

Does anyone on here know where I can find material the same as the front cab OEM ceiling cloth? I need to re do the rear passenger roof lining before I sell mine and thought I may as well try to match it up.

 

[Skyliner33]

Exactly the same is not available. The nearest I believe, is from Harrisons Trim supplies

 

[Absolut5]

Megavanmats brushed nylon is the closest

Cheers Absolut5, just ordered a few meters to do my current van and the new one.

I've just done the rear ceiling on a panel van, I used this one.

Brushed Nylon Headlining

This headlining material measures 1.35m wide. The material has a foam, scrim and felt backing - making it easier to use than other headlining materials, (the second picture shows the backing). The light grey is a very close to match to the original cab headlining in VW T4/T5 vans. Please enter the q

It's an almost identical match, hard to tell any difference.

I'm very new to the forum here, and my jaw is just hitting the deck on this thread. Such good workmanship @Absolut5 !! It's making me fear the DIY attempt i have (read had) been keen to do.
I am fairly confident that i can get the sound deadening, liner and fleecing work done, but i need to source some ply panels (is there a good company out there who supply T6 pre-cut ply?) and then it's the daunting carpeting.....
@Absolut5 do yo like to do the whole insulation and ply installation yourselves before carpeting, or could a customer come to you with a half-baked project (possibly a bloody good effort of a project!! ) and you complete the lining?
Thanks in advance!

 

[The Bear78]

@Dan Morritz you shouldn't be too afraid of carpeting. A good stretchy carpet will mould quite easily to the majority of contours in the van. The main issue is trying to go round the whole interior in one piece but it can be joined above the rear doors quite neatly to make life easier.

We often have owners who have done the sound proofing/insulation then we finish the carpeting etc
