...all the replies, useful stuff. Just glad to know I've not got shonky insulation and it's normal. Got a front window cover and a tailgate latch, and winddeflectors so should be able to manage as we are, got a white poptop which helps massively, and better once the top half is all wrapped...
...up for that though!! :p
Not sure how much difference it makes but driving at 65mph it's a very quiet place to be!
In terms of the winddeflectors, the side windows are very slightly thicker which means it takes a bit longer for the rubbers to form to the shape with the winddeflectors fitted.
I would personally recommend a disklock (size S) as the rascals can cut a steering wheel to get a bar lock off. Disklocks are a common and recurring recommendation on the forum

Not a necessity. Get a tailgate stand off latch to vent though the tailgate and still have it locked. And winddeflectors (I can recommend climair) - this way you can keep front windows open an inch or so without getting rain in and without them being open being obvious to bypassers. With these...
Good quality winddeflectors and best price. The problem I had was that Euro car parts couldn't get the part number right - 1st try wrong part No., 2nd try same again, 3rd time correct part but 1 x trim was broken in the box, 4th time they got it right. Quite frustraiting.
...Touches
Now at this point I had done lots of work on the van but there were lots of unfinished bits, such as no flooring, so that was the task now.
Other tasks were just tidying up areas in the garage section, and fitting new door seals and winddeflectors.
Here is the video for you all -
@Bav. Thanks for that - the crack grows by about 1mm with even a light press of the thumb from the inside! I'm kind of hoping that they don't have to remove the winddeflector but fear the worse.
...If you are replace the tyres with Michellin Cross Climate 2.
Also get a stop/start cancel device. Takes a minute to fit.
Climair winddeflectors. Nice to open the windows and not have rain pissing in or that wumpwumpwump sound.
Mats and seat protectors.
We put in seat protectors as the first...
Next Mod
I bought some winddeflectors, but liked the look of these ones rather than the heko channel ones
I also removed the splitter as I hated it. I've just ordered the sportline front end, pre painted
We had the Stitches cover. Fit was awful. If you look closely on their promo photos it's on a facelifted 5.1 that still has the old mirrors.
We ended up with UK Custom covers. £35 blocks out light, fits, packs up to A4 / laptop sized
As I didn't like the idea of drilling the van bodywork, I fitted a pair of Heko deflectors which took all of 20 minutes. I can't say that I've ever noticed any wind noise or issues with closing. And here's a picture...
...to sort so collecting in a couple of weeks
Just have a few quick questions to get me going..
1. How do i know what Thule feet to buy?
2. Carpets...i guess a 1+1 / 'walkthrough' is the right ones?
3. Winddeflectors...are they worth it and which ones to get?
4. What other fun things should...
I’d be interested to see a pic of this please. We have a camperking with the same wind strip deflector and wind noise can be pretty annoying so would be keen do something similar….
All just ready to order my winddeflector one more question I have a pure grey van and all black badged has anybody got black or smoke climair deflectors in their pure grey van would like to see a picture
Would be good to see both if that’s possible
Thanks everyone
