Some of you will have seen I bought a 2016 Kombi twin slider, which leaked like a sieve around the VW windows. To keep it short.. I returned it and purchased a new PV. Started the conversion.. no issues...
Put in the floor and had it carpeted at unique vans (top guys btw) and windows (non VW fitted)
Had that really heavy downpour on Friday, and it leaks! Windows are fine.. its coming past the sliding door seal now. at the back..
I dont know if it did it initially.. we never had this sort of rain while I've owned the van.
So
I checked with the Unique and they couldnt see why it should leak at first. Then he compared with all the other vans, and there is a difference. They all have a flush fit at the top rear gap on the sliding door. Mine sticks out slightly at the top. Also at the bottom but not as much.
I had just fitted the kombi step liner and floor so thought maybe I had messed that up, even thought the step plastic fits in the metal tabs with oblong holes fitted.
Off i went to the local VW dealer.. hoping they would pop out and have a quick look in case was missing anything obvious. Apparently they cant do that. Just refused to, (although with a corporate smile), So I had to book it in and let it leak meanwhile. Two weeks if I don't want a courtesy car. And they want it for four days!
No option really. And a few veiled threats about if its covered under warranty..
Its done less than 1000 miles ..
There are only a couple of other bits of info before asking for your help..
We tried to fit a soft close to this van. But, needs to be a 6.1 kit not a T6 one. The rear catch of the sliding door was taken out and refitted once it was realised. I am assuming its countersunk torx screws into welded nuts so shouldn't me movable? So that cant be out of position.. can it?
I have no clue if there are any adjustment, if there indeed are?
If anyone has experienced this, and knows what had to be done to fix it.. be very grateful
