Wheel-Arch: Internal Boxing-Off

[BionicT6]

Hey, does anyone know where you can buy the interior wheel arch boxes for a T6 Kombi with twin sliding doors? Vanstlye do them but only for single sliders and there isn't enough room in between the cover and the wheel arch to apply silent coat and foam.

Ideally what I want to do is rip the carpet off and arches, silent coat, foam and then box off with carpet. Any help would be appreciated.... thanks

These? VW T5 03-15 T6 15 SWB Inner Wheel Arch Covers - Vanstyle

To save doing this why not sound proof from the underside?

thanks, but they only do the single sliding doors and there's not enough space between the cover and the top of the wheel arch to get any decent amount of soundproofing

I have had that done, but still want to go further with the soundproofing so it's a nicer experience to drive

Got dual doors too and wondering why it won't fit to the other side. Going to contact them to find out. Plan for me it to fit and then carpet over the top. As for sound proof i'll prob just stick to underside, what did you use for this? Cheers

I have a twin slider Kombi. The Vanstyle ones can be cut back a bit and then fit quite well.

Hi Ann looking to box in arches! How's everyone attached to the van..tia

The factory ones that I took out were held in with sealant/adhesive.

My van has ply flooring and lining and the arch boxes were fixed to that with screws then sealed.

Mmm, mine might have had some screws in too now you come to mention it.

I'm wanting to build some simple wheel well boxes but I'd like to have them well secured. Trying to avoid drilling holes in the floor.... Any tips on how/where to bolt them to?
