Inserts to fill gap for trim clip around factory windows?

[seth]

Does anyone know a source for the plastic inserts / blanks to fill the gaps around the windows when there is no 'car style' interior trim installed? I've seen (but can't find) a picture of one, so know they exist, but cannot find any mention of them or a way to get any. Thanks!

Thanks. Was hoping there might be a supplier other than tracking down a VW main dealer... the price they'd charge doesn't bear thinking about.

Brilliant - thanksall! "T5 body bungs" apparently. Saved me hours of fettling DIY versions. .

(interestingly/annoyingly, googling the part number as provided in the pic turns up a whole range of incorrect door parts, but as one string as per Pauly, it works)

I read the 7th character as a 3 but googling as @Pauly suggests as a 5 yields better results!

This is a great find, I have replacement sliders in my van after ditching the OEM kombi sliders. Before I order 10 of these to fill the ‘holes’ around the window is there a piece of trim that can be bought to fill the space and make it look neater?

I've seen nothing so far, nor found any product which would easily provide a neat finish in similar way to the usual 'U' trim popped on the cut metal before fitting aftermarket windows in a panel van. Van style produces the 'pods' but that's a different kettle of fish altogether and not to my taste. I also saw someone producing GRP trims and selling on ebay but am unsure they'd really have the desired effect (VW T5 Transporter Window Sill Trims -precision Made GRP | eBay).

I'm half expecting it to look sufficiently improved with the plugs in place that it'll be 'don't notice anymore'. But I've also experimented with rubber self amalgamating tape to create a DIY 'U' trim, which has the potential to work if a huge amount of time and care is expended (so that'll be a 'no' then), and also very thin self adhesive foam rubber tape effectively forming a 'L', which might have a lot more potential. A suitable profile of rubber window draft sealing type stuff could work well but I have found nothing yet.

Can these be ordered through yourself @Pauly ?

Any dealer can get them for you

I ordered mine from LLLParts following the link above. I hadn't thought about going to the dealer for them. I had to pay postage which was nearly as much as the parts, but then I got the right parts the first time without any fuss. It all looks a little more finished now.
