I learnt how to use the sewing machine from youtube to make magnetic curtains for the van. I stand by it to anyone as a skill worth having

The machine I use is 20 year old Brother that I have on loan actually

Plus they hide where the wrap doesn’t quite fill the gutter

Ah, but only you know what they hide!

It was just my OCD type thing it needed to be black and I also needed this foot pack to fit properly!!

I can imagine you squirming with shame as you drove along, knowing the edge of the wrap wasn’t quite how you’d like it! The rails will save you a fortune on therapy!!!

I need to dig out what footpack is needed for my California rails....I’d like them to be as low-profile as possible.

I think the lowest was the 753 Thule.. if anyone else knows of lower I’m all in

Suede covered the A pillars, very pleased with the results. SWMBO then said can you cover the doors now. Omg the all clear to go suede mad in the van

B pillars this afternoon although they don’t look as easy as the A pillars.

I am so in for some of these, don’t know when I will use them but who cares if they look that good.

@Texxaco looks like you're a fellow seamstress

Sadly not @Kev_ I paid for mine to be made but I am so glad I did. The images don’t do them justice. Thinking gear knob gaiter in suede and steering wheel too.

 

[Texxaco]

Gear knob gaiter on eBay is going to be ordered any second, red stitching too.

Fitted swivel seats today Thanks Kiravans for information, supply and instruction video. Easy job to start with, rear camera next

Finally got my drivers seat to swivel after having the handbrake bracket lowered. Only thing left to do is remove some material off the bottom of the cover to return it to an OEM look.

What bracket did you use mate?

Also, What's involved in doing the job - I've got the Kiravans double passenger swivel and although I don't find the handbrake a particular pain to lower when swivelling, if the job wasn't too difficult (or expensive!), I might think about it. That said, every time that my wife uses the handbrake, she comments about how far it is to reach and her opinion probably counts more than mine!
