I have a similar problem yet mine is intermittent? Im not mechanically minded so dare not take it apart, but i am racking my brains as to how it can be intermittent if its wear and tear 🤷

This was what I was planning to do, but would you recommend white over black sealant? My van is a transporter in white. Learned good tips from your experience.

If you wanted to know what sealant I used and what sealant I would recommend instead, then take a look at my previous video ua-cam.com/video/aR_OlSMdymc/v-deo.html where I show you different sealants and how we should be looking to applying them.

Good recovery - leaks can be a devil to fix. What bonded / sealant would you now recommend for this type of glass window?

A great description, only wish I watched this first, now I can’t wait for you to post how you have resolved the leaking windows! Any ideas when this will be aired? One tip! I used a compressor (2nd hand, cheap as chips) and a sealant gun attachment, makes life so much easier.

A battery powered gun is the answer to putting window bond in. Most converters figure that out after a set or 2 without😉. Personally I have used the dinitrol brand for many years. But in winter it's still worth warming it up.

Great video! Really good camera work, showed the mechanics in full. Brilliant and helpful

Very comprehensive explanation with good detail. Very useful for others planning to install their own windows.

Excellent tutorial, Mark. Keep them coming as they are very helpful.

Hi Mark Thank you so much for posting such an excellent video. Just wondering did you have to disconnect the vehicle battery before removing the headliner ? Thanks Ivan

My vw T5 1.9 TDI 2006 electrics are going mental, like it's possessed. Just done a full service. 2 days later it's constantly trying to lock/ unlock, windows go up and down intermittently, interior light on and off.😢 2 am in the morning and I have no idea if it's this issue to have very well explained.

Hi buddy I got a 2004 vw t5 1.9 My abs light on now and again wiper goes on its own my horn not working and with my central locking would that be my bcm mine got a h on the end but any other work or what one should I look for me

“Sikaflex” not “Silkoflex” 😂😂😂😂

When you said at the beginning you were pulling fuses, if the ignition was on or the ECU hadn't gone to sleep a fault would set on th Air bag and the light would come on̈.

Merci beaucoup pour l'explication, vous avez fait un énorme effort pour faire cette vidéo et je sais que c'est pas facile 👍👍👍💪💪💪

Very detailed and informative install video with some novel features. Looking forward to the rest of the build!

Silicone spreaders/finishers with builders wet wipes are a neater/cleaner finish. You want a chamfered/squared finish to avoid peeling starting on those thin sealant edges. Enjoyed the video but is the fan facing the correct way? I thought the raised arse of the fan went to the back of the van? Just wondering.. Keep e'm coming.

Hi There. Thank you do much for making this video. It is a Godsend for me. I think I have the microswitch problem you refer to having on your orange van. It seems to have the microswitch that is on the latch like your orange van. My sliding door always registers as open... May I please ask where you got a replacement microswitch for your orange van? Thank you so much again!

Saved my beans... Great vid

Hi Mark, this experiment is interesting and well done, but overridingly too limited in its purpose. Those sealants are not at all like for like, as those pure silicone ones are of no comparison whatsoever to the Sikaflex and meant for entirely different uses. The comparison experiment that you should instead do is Sikaflex compared to a known same type, the point being that Sikaflex is very expensive at 14pounds a tube, but an equivalent rival is only 7 a tube, ie Wickes Premium Hybrid Sealant Adhesive, 7pounds a tube, in white, black, grey and clear. But are they as good as the Sikaflex? So, if you purchase the Wickes, in white, then this experiment would be very useful indeed, saving a big amount of money if found that Sikaflex could be substituted for the half price equivalent, in this case Wickes Hybrid. Both are Hybrid Polymer types (nothing to do with Silicone at all), and are Adhesive Sealants, for bonding. The Silicone will not bond. So, Mark, your experiment is a good one, very well carried out, but we must use the correct type. I would love to see this same experiment with Wickes Premium Hybrid vs Sikaflex. On spec, they are the same product, but are they in practise? what do you think about doing this? I like your channel, yourself and what you're doing and have subscribed. Best wishes, Alan in Norfolk.

Hello Mark, just a question about installing the panels directly onto the roof with bolts and brackets, instead of a roof rack rails? Is it for managing the weight? or cost? cheers from Oz.

very good video Mark, well done. We're always learning.

wow, in 6 years they changed nothing. would be nice if it was wifi with a free app.

Hi. I saw your video and I'm curious. Do you happen to know how to convert an auto sliding door to manual?

Hi Mark, just bought my 1st Caddy and the side door won't open a quick look had me confused, thanks for taking the time to record this, I now understand completely how it all works, and I'll set to and hopefully fix it 🎉

Hi, I have thought of an easier way to take out the free play. The long plastic bar that it pushes down on in the inside lock mechanism, there is a gap there. So drill a small hole in the top of the plastic bar and screw in a self tapper, it will then push down on the Head of the screw and it's adjustable when you screw the self tapper in or out ! It just removes the play caused by the worn plastic parts. 😊

Great video ! Just a thought , could you not put say a tie wrap around the alloy arm that pushes the button down 🤔. If you put the tie wrap on so that the square block faces downwards , it would have more depth to push that black button .

Hello Mark, cheers from Brisbane AU, thanks for your video and test on the sealants. Looking forward on your progress, Im interested to do a conversion my self but have not found a suitable Van as yet.

wow .... Prof. Ballard - ich bin beeindruckt !

Hi, I intend also converting a VW Crafter. Shall be watching your videos with interest. Thanks...

Good luck with the build, looking forward to the conversion.

Nice explanation, thank you so much

Followed the suggestions and bent the same metal latch lever while in a vice. Works totally fine again now. Thanks very much for the vid

Mark your a gem , I’m six minutes from the end of your video hopefully you resolved your problem. I’ve been at my van for last three days in a row and still haven’t fixed it but I did notice the hook on the latch wasn’t sitting right . Didn’t go so far as to remove latch . Be at it again tomorrow. Thanks mate and great video👍🏻
