  • In this video we attempt to take on the huge task of overhauling the #vw #volkswagen #caddy interior.
    there is so much to do inside this van but the first steps were insulating the van to make it warmer and more comfortable (this also gives it more usability if I do decide to go down the Campervan route). then trimming all the van in Alcantara along with a new headlining and much more!

    Fantastic job. I have the same van and dog fyi. I love the way you showed the issues you came across along the way. I am just starting this process. The road noise is doing my head in. I love the black. ✅

    One tip I've learnt about adding the panels over carpeted areas, use a soldering iron on the original panel before carpeting it to create the holes needed for the clips. Worked an absolute treat for me!

    With my caddy and behind the seats in what would of been the rear footwells is worth sound deadening as I noticed a massive improvement in that area for road. Noise

    You should have drilled the holes in the wood before you covered it then just used a sharp Bradle or similar just to punch a small hole in the material. Do you have a link for the fibre lights mate?

    • @Chris_Slix
      @Chris_Slix  Год назад

      I did try this on another piece and it doesn't work as the when you try to pierce the hole it separated the fabric from the wood. The links in the description buddy.

    Gave up watching - this is only a half job. You’ve installed sound deadening but nothing on the roof!
    You’ve completely overlooked proper thermal deadening. I hope other people don’t follow your system. You are going to end up with hidden condensation behind the panels and that will also lead to mould.
    Sorry, but you’ve done a very poor job.
