Just followed the instructions in this video and successfully fitting my rail to our T4 van. I did it on my own. The only difference I made 2 x 4mm threaded pins which I inserted in the predrilled holes this allowed me to put the rail on with adhesive and slide into place for final fixing. I removed the pins and inserted the screws all done thanks for the video.
Superb clear instructions. Thanks for thr tips
Nice clear explanation. Thanks. Re ; sealant finishing. You can work without masking tape. If you manage to get the right amount under the part to be fitted then a fairly neat bead will show around the edges after its clamped down. To get that super neat it's then just a matter of a little saliva on the end of a fingertip run over the sealant and it magically smoothes out into a neat bead. The saliva prevents the sealant sticking to your skin. Its necessary to keep re-wetting the finger too. This technique is often used in fitting bathrooms. Often a bead will look like a run of weld on 1st application but a wet finger turns it into a smooth continuous joint. You can use this with a gloved finger but the glove is prone to movement which can spoil the 'run.' Another way without tape is to wipe of excess sealant with a decent quality baby wipe immediately after clamping. (Literally within seconds so it has no time to start curing. ) I don't know why cheapo baby wipes don't work well but Pampers type do work well. You'll go through quite a few wipes as each one gets contaminated with sealant quickly and you start re-applying it if you don't change the wipe after a couple of sweeps. Hope this helps someone. Happy travels. John
Edit ; those baby wipes get the sealant off your skin really well too !
This was super easy to follow. Thanks for the help getting mine fitted 🙌🏻
Another great, informative video. Definitely a job I now would tackle thanks to your help!! Keep up with the great content..
At last I have found a T4 awning rail fitting advice, great, thank you. I have subscribed to the Coombe Valley Campers
Thank you 😊
Glad I came across this. Just had my T4 resprayed and need to fit a new rail - thank you, good job.
Precise and masterful, just love the way you work!
Can you do this just with the tiger seal and not the drilling or screws ?
Cracking honest vlog buddy!
I had mine fitted using the roof bar fittings. Tucked the flat part of the rail under the roof bar.
Superb, very professional job and clearly explained. Thanks
Fantastic job 👍🏼 I've seen this van locally and looks stunning, interior is even better.. the wheels look proper burley 💪🏻
Get electric silicon gun - makes jobs much easier.
im might be wrong but im sure it also comes with black screws, use the silver ones to fit as you had then replace one by one with the black screws
This van looks awesome 😍😍😍
Hi. Regarding the drilled holes in the bodywork, why did you not treat the bare metal?
Prob worth mentioning that these rails come in different lengths for LWB and SWB
It's great found a great no super DIY channel Thank you
Excellent, thank you. Doing my T4 at weekend!
Good video and installation.. I would have used stainless steel blind rivets wet installed instead of screw but thx for sharing
I’d like to know how the new regulations front the DVLA, ie: having to have a high top not a pop top, are impacting your business?
man I love your stuff, but do you have a video, on how to cut and measure the rounded corners inside the fan for head cupboards or anything you need to have flush against the top wall of the van?
Hi Enjoying all your videos. We have a VW Caddy looking to convert. The Vamoose rail looks ace, do you think this would work on a Caddy? It would have to be a tad higher in order to clear the doors
Can you assist with other model vans? I have a Renault Trafic 06 model which I'm hoping to convert. James
Yes of course
Hi, Sort of worried about offering up aluminium to the steel of the van body. I believe that was a problem for VW on earlier Californias. Also I am an ex Land Rover owner (proper ones). Hence the concern re oxidation. Thanks
Good job
Love your channel. What awning do you recommend for late bay window buses?
Where are you getting those prices? The same ones are £75 on fleebay?!?!
Took my t5 to rising campers had a famous fitted leaked everywhere
I understand the DVLA are now insisting on an awning as a prerequisite for registration?
Can I fit this awning to a Peugeot Boxer?
Thanks
Thanks, great vid :)
I love the flooring is it amtico or real wood ???
What type of screws?
should the front piece not slightly overhang the windscreen for the rain to drain away?
Hi Karl, this was fitted as per the manufacturers instructions :)
@@CombeValleyCampers how do the screws stay in? Is there bolts on the other side? The reason I ask is I am having an awning fitted but the van already has insulation on the ceiling. Would this have to come off?
@@gosulivan The screws are self tapping screws and hold into the metal a short distance. Your headliner will not be compromised if the kit is fitted correctly. Regards Leigh
Frog tape (better than masking) stops the mastic ripple ;)
Frog, Duck, Crocodile, Pike tape. All the same stuff just like Tiger seal PU sealant white label goods rebranded.
Can you fit me a c rail on a motorhome
Alcoholic wipes, what drunk wipes lol @ 1:50@time mark lol
🖒🖒🙌🙌
I wouldn't be drilling any holes in my van 😬😬
Its gonna be hard for you to convert a van then!
That rails to low for the average drive away awening they need to be as high as poss
😅
Who else is only here because of the dvlas bullshit rules?
What about treating the bare metal after drilling yo prevent rusting ?.
I asked that too. Something I would always do on my own vehicle
Pointless really, the screws are self tapping screws which would pull the paint off anyway. The sealant not only seals the hole but protects the metal.
