Converted panel sliding door

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by Neil D, Apr 1, 2012.

  1. Hi, im hoping this is in the right section but im after some advice! My van is a converted panel so the windiws have obviously just been cut in. My problem is on the sliding door, it seems like it was originally 'double skinned' and now the window is mounted to the outer skin and the inner is just rough cut. When i bought the van i had this hideous GRP moulding to cover it up. I feel its really letting the interior down! I just wondered if anyone else has anything like this or know anywhere/thing i could have instead?

  2. Our van is a converted panel, and out sliding door was never finished when we bought it. So we have the rubber, then a gap then there was another rubber on the inside skin. I may try and find a more modern rubber from a car boot which has a bit more meat to it so it will fill the gap.. Failing that, just put your cover on as per your picture, i think it looks awesome.

    Your "hideous" GRP surround is a much sought after goody. :lol: I have one for sale if anyone's interested. £50.

  8. i would love to come somerset but its a bit far for us, unless sam persuades me. If you can price up some postage, we may be able to rustle up some more cash. Only if you were offering to part ways with it of course.

  9. It's only in the garage gathering dust, it's got glue over it so needs a good clean up, it's a bit big and flexible to post. But im not in a rush to get rid of it, so if know off anybody coming this way they can collect £25 sound far it's only a piece of useless fibreglass to me.
     
  10. i will see if maybe we can arrange a wknd trip when the bus is back from sprayers.

    Many thanks

  11. It could be an excuse to go to van to west or Bristol volksfest.

    I endEd up changing my sliding door
