Here you go...
You can request a custom size if you order the standard size which is one-up (e.g. for a 95 cm wide custom blind order the one which is 100 cm wide). We ordered the kitchen one first, then the bench seat one a couple of months later when the kitchen proof of principle was a success. Note that the drop-down menu on eBay is for blind size not overall unit size (the frame adds 8 cm to the blind size, i.e. 4 cm each side). So my measurements were:
Kitchen
Overall size required (given to seller in order comments): 75 cm x 44 cm
So blind size required (overall size minus 8 cm each dimension): 67 cm x 36 cm
Therefore next standard blind size up (to choose in the drop-down when you order): 80 cm x 65 cm
Bench Seat
Overall size required (given to seller in order comments): 100.5 cm x 52.5 cm
So blind size required (overall size minus 8 cm each dimension): 92.5 cm x 44.5 cm
Therefore next standard blind size up (to choose in the drop-down when you order): 100 cm x 50 cm
If you order them now, then the first and last line of each should be what's needed. You'll want to double-check those measurements first though!
I removed the curtain rails then used double-sided tape and bits of cardboard to work out where I thought the blind should go. It was easier once we had the kitchen one because I could use that to make a template of the correct curve radius when working out the bench seat dimensions.

Looking good! What spec van?
T6 (Eu5) SWB 102 Highline. Has the 2+2 configuration, would have preferred the side bench but I guess I can just leave the bed down to get a bench. 35k miles. Tailgate
Our RHS seat is permanently down unless we need to transport 4 people.
I contacted LD to enquire about a swap of the single behind the driver to the bench arrangement and they have quoted £2.2k not including any seatbelt modifications. Needless to say, I wont be taking them up on that.
I'm not sure if I get the bed board to make the double either. I'ss speak to the dealer and if not, will have a look at making my own up. I've noted @CAB 's guidance earlier in the thread on sizes.

Anyway you can remove the headrest on mine, I've just tried it, and thanks for the idea, it would be a good idea to put a tv or ipad onto it although not sure how you would affix a strap ....... I've tried fixing my small tv to various places in the van but gave up and I just pull out the stand on the tv and put in on top of the sink area when lid is closed.
Thanks for your efforts, but its the headrest fixed to the cupboard on the seat behind the driver. See original photo
I don't pick my van up for another 2 weeks so i'm working blind
