Really pleased with my T6 purchase but looking to finally now start on the sound deadening and carpeting, as some major life chores now sorted.
When I bought the van, I spotted that both original sliding side windows had been sealed up. Seller said they were unaware, as only had the van about 9 months, but I suspect they were well aware. They should have, given the obvious water damage to the factory trim panels.
Anyway, I luckily knew this when making the purchase choice, but it’s been in my list to potentially sort. They don’t leak, so the any previous issue appears to be sorted.
I haven’t actually missed using them, and neither have my family, but unsure if that’s due to knowing that we can’t.
So I have a few questions:
1. How often do you actually open your sliding side windows and use them whilst driving?
2. If I was to replace them, which aftermarket options are cool in the real world? Sliders or safari style, for example.
3. How easy is it to replace them after the interior sides have been carpeted?
4. How much nicer looking is carpeting the metalwork and panels, vs just carpeted ply panels? Anyone done panels only, just to end up doing the metalwork after?
5. I really like the idea of wood ceiling, whether the wood strip type or the routed ply style, but also think the halo type carpeted panels are cool too. Opinions? Any obvious noise issues with wood vs carpet?
6. Anything else you guys wish you’d done on the rear interior area, had you know about it before starting yours?
Cheers all.
