Does anyone have the Vanstyle D pillar trim/cover installed? Rear Door ABS Black Inner Pillar Guard Covers - VW T5 T6 - Vanstyle


I was wondering if anyone had any more pictures or reviews?
Also do you think it would fit over carpet?
Thanks!

Been thinking about these too (but just the lower sections). My issue being I have a rear wardrobe section so would need some modifying to fit i guess.
I have fitted the black plastic arch covers over my (thin) carpet lining, vanstyle said they wouldn't fit.
Be interesting to see how you get on.

Was looking at the arch covers too so good to know thanks. All out of stock at the moment so will have to wait!

Have you received and fitted these yet?

Looking at this product at present and would be interested to know your thoughts.

Thanks

No not yet, I cancelled the order in the end as they had no idea when they were coming in. Vanstyle did advise that they would fit over carpet though.

I'm probably going to wait until I have carpeted the rear before I order from RGM as I think it will finish it off nicely. I have fitted the abs arch liner which I'm pleased with, they fitted over 2mm silentcoat on the wheel arches. I intend to carpet the metalwork and tuck it just under the liner.

Hi. They fit;
1) Behind the hardboard panels as shown in the earlier pic. Need to remove some of the panel clips to allow the panel to flex open.
2) Under the lip of the tailgate door seal.
3) Under the load bay flooring, also as shown in the pic, if you have it. You may need to remove the lashing loop to raise the flooring.
No drilling, screws, glue or double sided tape etc reqd.
RGM make them and VanStyle are resellers.
Hope this helps.

Right, so just wedged in place is OK then? I've now read the instructions on the RGM site and it details the use of double sided tape.

Cheers.
