Fitted the folding bracket for my front seats was a lot easier than I thought View attachment 110148View attachment 110149

Ah great - where did you get this from? Thanks

Vankraft, I’m guessing?

T5 / T6 double folding passenger seat conversion. M1 crash tested. Fits all models 2003 to 2024.

Our bestselling product with thousands of satisfied customers in the UK and Europe If you have a double passenger seat with a fixed backrest, this modification will allow the backrest to fold forward to a flat position. The seat can then be used as a flat surface or to make room for loading...

www.vankraft.co.uk

Or possibly OEM.

In my opinion, Vankraft is better as it also reclines the double seat by about 10 degrees.

tried installing grab handles to the B pillars, found that the one near the rear seat did not have any pre-drilled threaded holes in the body after removing door seal and pulling back the wall cover material (no trim panel either) , no way to attach safely... pulled off the pillar trim between passenger seat and sliding door... a no go as well. the bracket would sit outside the trim, the handle would have to be adapted as well (cut of the little fixing prongs that would normally go through the pillar trim etc) just dont have the tools to cut that down (it has a metal insert), phoned the company, no problem to return the lot... still gutted

Really great idea to have a handle on the B pillar. Has anyone else done this, I wonder?

A handle either side of the sliding door opening at floor level would help getting in after a skin full.

B pillar grab handle

does anyone know if it's easy to install the B pillar grab handles as found on the caravelle to a kombi (twin slider)? If so any idea on part numbers and price? Cheers

Fitted my tow bar (Brinks removable) with PF Jones 13 pin electrics.
So then some VCDS coding.
The tow bar, was a bit of a pain but got there, H7 dips to stay on on main beam and the kph to mph on the MDF. The last 2 were easier all thanks to info on the forum and a bit of you tube.
Glass of beer called for now.

Hi @Dave Mac
Please can you tell me if your van is a 6.1 and have you got tow bar prep in rear quarter panel?

 

[JOG]

gave the radio a monobrow!

Hi Randolph
No it’s a T6 highline without tow bar prep. I may be wrong but if tow bar prep is fitted at factory there is no coding required.

Fitted the bumper protector I’ve been waiting 6 weeks for

That looks really great. I need to replace mine… it’s faded to a horrible grey.

Can I ask where you got this one?

 

[Alster]

It’s a genuine vw one. Got it from my local van centre. Looks decent quality, I’ve given it a coat of ag vinyl and rubber care so hopefully it won’t fade too quickly!

 

[Alster]

Interestingly there’s a leaflet with it telling you to give it a scub monthly and a list of suggested care products to stop it fading.
