VW T6 Side Bars with water outlet

[vanmorangie]

Wonder if anyone has any experience of fitting side bars on a T6 with a water outlet running along the sill please.

Are they offset enough that they will fit, or is there a specific set anyone could recommend?

You can see the heater and water outlets in the picture below.

Many thanks.

Did you get this sorted if so how ? I’ve got same problem and any help would be greatly appreciated

 

[vanmorangie]

Yes, managed to sort without issue. Just a case of moving the water outlet mount back slightly. Can send a picture showing the underneath if that would help.

 

[Phil1969]

Yes please would help massively

No problem, it's screwed into the under tray using self-tappers. Secure and room to open to let water out. The bit out of focus at the top of the screen is the side bar and, just below it, the mounting bracket for the sidebar.

Thank you so much for your help very grateful

My water outlet runs to the centre / rear of the van, it’s water I don’t need to collect it.

@vanmorangie how did it work with the diesel heater exhaust? Sounds like the water outlet was more of an issue for you. I'm thinking of doing the same and have similar diesel heater exhaust setup.

All worked perfectly thanks. Was a bit of a non-issue to be honest.
