Hi all,
I have a 2019 T6 Kombi that I imported when we moved over from South Africa earlier this year - I don’t think they make the same model here, but it’s effectively a transporter/Kombi with 8 seats (2 up front, single and double in second row, and 3 seater in the back.) I am wanting to use the vehicle for work (plumbing/carpentry) most of the year, but then be able to reinstall the back 6 seats a few times a year for family holidays (we are a 7 person family so we need the seats!).
Two broad questions:
1) is it possible to fit a bulkhead behind the front two seats? I have read all I can find on the forum and it seems that Motexion are the way to go if this van didn’t have a bulkhead fitted standard. Is that correct? (Are the versions that fit behind the drivers seat and the one that goes behind the second row of seats the same?) Also, I have sliding doors on both sides - does this need a special part or will any work (with a bit of trimming?) I can find so many videos about removing bulkheads, but nothing detailed on how to install one. Is it fairly straightforward and would I damage my van (considering I will be taking it in and out probably twice a year)? Anything else I should be considering here?
2) Second broad question…does anyone have any bright ideas on protecting the back of the van while I use it for tools/material etc? I had a sort of rubber/plastic floor currently and grey plastic sides - windows all round (that I will have some vinyl put on so no one can look inside to see tools etc). Again, I need to remove this a few times a year when we use the van for family.
I know this is not an ideal scenario, just trying to cut our cloth to what we have as we start a new business. Ideally the van comes back into the family, and I get a second full time work van.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
