First thing that came to my head was ' clever use if a tarp' second thing sprung to mind was 'i wish someone had (badly) wrapped me a Transporter for my birthday'
Finished my rack off. Looks so much better now it's all black!
Nice rack dude...
Did you strip the whole thing down to leave the ali naked? What type of paint did you use to refinish it in?
Yeah i stripped the whole thing down. Had to drill the rivets out to strip it. Luckily with it being a Thule rack, the main frame is already black so didn't need to do that.
I gave all the aluminium and good clean, then a rub down with some scotch pad and brake cleaner. Used an acid etch primer, then Simonz satin black paint. Had turned out really well. How long it'll last is anyone guess, but I'm happy to touch it up omwhe needed.
You'll need some 6.4mm black rivets and a large rivet gun to put the rack back together.
So the good news is I got the Caravelle back today because some rattling dash trim was replaced under the All In warranty (hence delay)Dropped the Caravelle of for its service and MOT under the All In - blimey has year really gone past
Bad news is at 4 years and 43,000 the ex dealer demo and fully VW dealer maintained engine has the dread note "crankshaft seal leaking"....
Which seems rather early?
It's only bad news if it's not covered by warranty, surely?
Otherwise it's an inconvenience.
Notably oil seals are covered under extended factory warranty but not the all in warranty, I have the later.
Thanks, every day is a school day!
My wife decided to have swivel seat on her side but no high change then purchase lowered one with swivel as one and my Audi seats hits B trim lool lost on this one
Finally removed the sliding door runner panel, cleaned behind and sound proofed before replacing with new clips.
A bit more soundproofing on inside of same panel too.
Then bought a spline bit set to adjust the tailgate clasp. I have adjusted the clasp only for the moment, as the striker plate bolts need the rear trim removed which sits under the Ovano slightly. Will see how that is before going that next step.
