Best (to the point) DIY van build channel. Without having too listen to redundant blabbing like the others. Two thumbs.

thanks for the video!

[@philipangell44]

very useful video like your little tool I use a carpet fitter Lino knife

[@kn0bch33s3]

I have been wondering about doing this. Not seen it covered anywhere else

[@vcjhunt999]

Cheers! Would you say it is easier carpeting before fitting the window and then fitting the trim over the carpet?

[@karlgregory6499]

Thanks for that, very useful. One question though, what do you do with the outer edge? (Around the outside of the door) where and how do you stop/finish that edge of the carpet?

[@kiravans5874]

Hi, I was just using the rear door as an example but I don't personally ever stick carpet lining on rear doors for that very reason. There is not a good place to stop the outer edge at because it will start to interfere with the waterproof door seal.

@@kiravans5874 Hi! How would you recommend to finish off the back doors, especially if they are damaged?

[@henno297]

Where did you get the runners for the curtains? They look like a great job altogether.

[@leesmavicmoments5598]

Hi guys! Is there some sort of sticker warp for those doors, I've got scratches all across my horizontal middle bits, in between the panels. They're already carpeted. Thanks Lee.

[@kiravans5874]

Not that I know of. I have spray painted these on a previous van which helped the look but not perfection. I have also seen the whole door carpeted before or you could try a vinyl wrap option. Probably quite cheap to a few metres of vinyl online.

Hi, I want to do course where is best place to go for learning

[@kiravans5874]

You may find some companies that offer conversion courses but I don't have any info on them. There are lots of good videos on UA-cam though, which explain how to do most things. Good luck!
