tailgate

I already have a Thule wind out awning and a Vango Cruz inflatable. My van is a twin slider Kombi so I can use both sides but you can never have too much space and I like to spread out when camping. I'm now looking for a rear mounted awning that will sit over my tailgate. There are a number...

Hi I am new to this site! I have a set of Front Head Lights and a set of Rear Lights from our 68 Plate VW T6 Kombi Van which I am looking to sell on. Having no idea, their worth I would be happy for any suggestions. I have replaced these with some LED Lights from Transporter HQ and having spent...

Has anyone gone old school and smoothed off the tailgate VW badge? It seems everyone debadges the transporter/TDI badges and changes the backing colour etc on the round VW emblem. I'm aiming to achieve a sleek/stealth look on my van and am debating whether or not to waste some hard earned cash...

Hi I'm looking to disable the electric tailgate. just when camping I find if its left open and the van is rocked it can trigger an auto close, I have a rear tailgate tent and wouldn't want it coming down during the night. I thought that a 13 pin plug fitted in the Tow electrics socket might do...

Hi Guys, I have factory fitted power latching on the tailgate but it’s stopped working, causing the tailgate to rattle as it doesn’t seem to close, I’ve hoovered our all round the latch but still no joy and the thought of a trip across Manchester to the main dealer doesn’t fill me with joy -...

Hi I'm looking at installing a window into the tailgate of my very basic T32, however trying to get my head around anything that requires the use of 2 or more brain cells is a challenge to say the least What do I need if the glass is heated and has a wiper hole, is there a simple way to install...

I’m looking for a pair of ball connectors( no idea what it’s called) which allows the rear light cluster to slide into. See pictures. mine got broken after the tailgate strut popped out and impacted the lights.

Hi all, I’m looking for a retro fit camera system to go on my T6 if anyone can help. I’ve looked in the forum shop but they are out of stock for the Barn Door which is the one I require. Don’t suppose anyone has one for sale?? Also looking for someone to fit & code it please!! I have to...

Mates I see some vans with the full width plastic trim on the tailgate threshold on the floor. My PV, and many other vans' photos on here, have the cut down central trim around the latch keep only, but plastic nut inserts either side for a full width trim. It looks like there's bits missing...

As the title says, just finished carpet lining, but I cant seem to refit the tailgate seal over the lip now it has extra thickness of the carpet. Is there a special technique? I'd hate to trim the carpet back from the edge because the seal gives the best edge, but running out of options..

Hi all, I’ve made a video on my YouTube channel to show how to retrofit a tailgate switch to open it from the inside, take a look and subscribe if you like what you see Cheers, CDAT

Hi everyone! There’s a few threads about bike racks, but what I couldn’t find anything on was if people who have them have had any issues with marks on the paintwork where the rubber feet sit? I’m almost certain this is the rack I am going to purchase, but a guy I was talking to “has a friend”...

Hi guys, Had a quick search but not found an answer to solve my problem. My tailgate has stopped unlocking and the only way to open it is to scramble over the bed to get to the rubber grommit, stick a finger in and release it. Is there a common cause /easy fix or is it a trip to the dealer...

Hi, I've a 2011 T5 Shuttle with tailgate. The rear brake light at the top of the tailgate is broken, so I need to replace it, but to do this the interior window surround trim needs to be removed first to get access to the light securing screws. There are no visible fastenings. If you can tell...

My T6 Shuttle Tailgate has just today stopped working i.e. I cannot unlock it from the outside, but I can press the OE button on the inside of the tailgate and it will open? If I try to open it using the keyring (either the open van or open tailgate buttons) the indicators flash. The doors all...

I'm just trying to piece together the last part of my retrofit. The parking sensors..... They are connected now but don't seem to be communicating with the tailgate module. I'd be eternally grateful if anybody with factory fitted electric tailgate and access to VCDS could provide me with the...
