@davecdjt I got his one...........works a treat. Not as robust as the one Texcco has . It helps if you take the tension off the wiper arm on the screen.

Fitted a momentary switch to the tailgate for ease of egress from the inside. Princely sum of about a fiver and 2 hours of my pace fitting, just followed a youtube video.....
Thank you
Thank you. I may only ever use this once... don't ordinarily buy cheap tools but this might be enough with a little help from some WD40.
I've fitted the door seals as well this week (I did the dash trim a couple of weeks ago). It certainly takes a bit of a harder to slam for the door to close fully now but I to believe there has be a noticeable reduction in road noise. I was worried the door now doesn't sit quite flush but THQ and others have advised the seals will 'wear in' in a couple of weeks.A couple of simple little mods this evening. ‘Sounds like a golf’ front door seals and dash trim to seal the gap between the dash and the windscreen (stops parking tickets and the like slipping into the void, never to be seen again). Both a doddle to fit and impressed as always with THQ service - that’s three separate orders now with free next day delivery.
Took her for a spin afterwards, definitely less road noise and the doors now shut with a satisfying ‘thunk’

F*** me.........that's some serious sound deadening work, awesome. I need to do that to mine, never thought of doing the scuttle, good idea, if I may ask a silly question though.....does that not trap any water that get's in there though ? Still somewhere for it to run-off Dave ?
I’ve loaded our van up as we are going to the weekend steam rally on Anglesey tomorrow.

Sound deadening marathon! Only achievable whilst the kids were at their Grandma’s for the weekend. Doesn’t trap water, drainage is clear (now all the shite and leaves have gone).
More importantly… does it make a difference?
I’ll let you know once I’ve driven it!!!
Aaaah we have all said that
