First sliding door card

This was basically not fun!!

8 hrs give or take to get this stage measuring- cutting- measuring-cutting - swearing etc.
When glue all dry and my back is functional again, it'll be fitting one more time to see if any of the inside face if panel shows through window when open , which I think some part probably will . I'll then have to find a way of making a frame albeit cloth or wood so it looks neat from inside.
Never expected it to be easy but bloody hell !

Once the panel was fitted it did not look right that great expanse of cream suede! Also as the doors get a lot of use I feel that it will get grubby very quick! 

I'm changing the headlining to vinyl as again it could become grubby very quickly, we've chosen lighter shade of cream when its re applied we will look again and maybe use the same vinyl for the two sliding door but look at putting a different coloured panel in the middle to break up the "slab of beige" 

So when the seats have been re upholstered in a couple of weeks we will look again!

And Closed!

Rear Hatch Curtains

Vanx rear hatch curtains...........

Fairly easy to fit, for the top rail I had to shorten it by about 5" then drilled centre hole and fitted it, it needed a slight bend inwards. Then marked and drilled 4 more holes.
I then fitted the curtains, these are black out and stretchy so you need to position the bottom rail low enough to allow the curtains to sit slightly under tension. This rail I needed to bend a small amount again to match the curve. Again centre hole first etc.
The small plastic end caps on the top rail are a pain to fit. I would suggest fitting  one on before screwing into position.

The stud fasteners are then mounted in position to keep the outside hem against the frame. The screws provided are to long for the T6 so I used pop rivets .
Very happy with them.

Rear hatch panel

Covered the rear panel today, we've decided on black out curtains for it as can't seem to get pleated blinds in, even close , to the right size.
