We did this in our van but we used headliner material which has a little bit of stretch to it. One of my "car guy" coworkers gave me the idea. We used the same material on the underside of our shelf and the backside of our "bulkhead" partitions. We are very pleased with the results.
A lot of people remove that foam piece but I remember reading that it's for safety. It's not meant to direct the side curtain airbags, but rather acts as a cushion in case your head bounces around in that area in a collision. Nice to have a solution that doesn't compromise safety features, thanks!
Thanks for the video and part number for the foam. Do you know the part numbers for the B pillar wrap around trim pieces? Can’t find the numbers anywhere. Thanks!
How do you finish the back door pillars usually? The interior edge that goes all the way up and around and back down the rear of the van where the wires are run?

So happy to see this video. By the grace of God, I saved those foam pieces! Now to cover them. Thanks so much
Very nice finished look!
Thanks so much. Getting ready to start that project, and you helped take a lot of the guesswork out of it.
Good luck!
Great video

Hi, loved your presentation. Could not find the link for the website to buy the pillar head. Could you please post link?
Mercedes has changed the part number. Check with your dealer. They should be able to find the parts for you.

Great video!! Thank you for sharing. The MB part # in your post is for 2018 Sprinter. Do you know this part will fit 2021 Sprinter 2500?
Yes. It will fit newer sprinters. This install was in a 2021.
@@thrivans Thank You!!
Same question but the replies seem to be hidden
part # and description please
This is very helpful! What color is the fabric?
Slate Grey
You didn't show how to remove and install the old and new pillar trim where the seatbelts go through
No need to remove the pillar trim. We just pop the top of the trim out, and pop it back in when finished.
Better to insulate above headliner than use those foam pieces tbh
You can do both.
