I agree, my slide is just mounted with four screws and can be installed/deinstalled in a minute.....Looks great
I'd like something that isnt a permanent fixture or trip hazard, i may try make a fork mount that will slide out from under the passenger seat so I can slide it away when not in use. Its also to carry a Gravel bike (Sonder Camino) for doing some routes in the highlands and some bikepacking to base camp at some further away munros
Do you have photos of when you done this? i need to do mine, also the side pods on the lever
.
A nice easy one done now. T6.1 rear tailgate boot lid interior switch. Easy now that I have sorted out the small coding change
.
Pics of all the parts/numbers, wiring schematic, and coding change.
Out of interest, I got the KL58d button illumination from front interior light console. This is not necessary though. Wiring schematic shows this switch as E165.
Coding value changed from 'not installed' to via pin.

Finally got round to soundproofing front doors on the van. Got a lot of jobs on at the mo with a fair few miles and my ears were taking a beating.
Big shout to BCSS in Coulsdon who sorted me out - also found a leak in door that VW missed about 3 times.

Fitted a wolfbox mirror replacement dashcam with rear camera. Bought it in dec so thought it time to fit it before its warranty runs out 
Well impressed with the build quality and camera images. Went for the 4k version. Highly recommended

Washed the shitter and put the winter wheels on ready for a trip to York. Don't know why, its going to be crapped up by the time I get home 
Too much information
Done my first "aware" regen.
I guess most if not all the previuos ones where unnoticed on long highway streaks.
I am flying abroad to work more often this beginning of year, so the van is not running much.
I took it for a ride today, bringing Ms. FWhite to some chores.
On the way back I saw the frequency meter go to 1000 rpm while stopped at a traffic light in the morning city traffic.
Went for a short ride on the highway. About 10' later, I went out to go back, stopped at the intersection and it was over!
Aaah, how nice.
At home I set my OBDeleven dongle in, and right, last regen 23 Km ago, sooth level 9 mg .
Now I feel like a proper T6 owner!

Quite amazed, Aux belt and tensioner installed and interim service at Midland VW in Cannock.
£347 total, my flab has never been so ghasted.
Thanks to Forum chat it was great to go in and say I think the whistling is the Aux belt and tensioner. It was, serviced and parts replaced in just over an hour.
Not looking forward to next year's full service, Cam belt and waterpump (this year cb and wp price is £580).
Top blokes.

Bit more deadening after doors done - scuttle and under bonnet to use up some sheets just sitting around.
Will foam back and underside of the top of the scuttle (if that makes sense) when I can be arsed getting some in to do wheelarches as well.

Swapped the stock 16" steels for 17" Rogue Robust 2 silver / black alloys clad with Falken WildPeak AT3WA's
Really pleased with how the silver rims tie in to the silver van. Did a little 4Motion "dirt" testing on the way home.
Swamper wheel arch trims next job.

So has the scuttle and/or the floor made a noticeable difference? @Ace @kombisnaps ?
I wouldn't be able to give much honest input as I've only ever driven it previously full of tools and racking. It was my work van but had to buy another as this was off the road for around 5/6 months having some repairs done. Didn't plan to go as crazy with it all but while the stuff is all out for other reasons I thought I may aswell do it.
