Thanks for explaining this - now three years in it has been perfectly helpful for me and I got the courage to try and replace my Crafter passenger switch!! Turned out it hadn’t been reconnected after painting 😣 but now it works and my door panel is reattatched!
Hey you two 😁. My partner and I have been watching your videos over the last few days. We have thoroughly enjoyed them and found them informative and entertaining. We are buying a van of our own in the next few months so your tips will come in useful. Keep up the good werch 😁
Hey there you ! Thanks for the kind works Karl we just try and do the best we can at pointing out the fact that most people can do this kind of stuff . But like to have a laugh doing it as well as me making my own language is as well . Thanks bud good luck with the van build mate
Ugh I hate messing with door panel stuff. I always have to do it because Jessie gets impatient and things sometimes get broke. I always tell him he can't just ape it! It takes a bit of ease. So rather than watching him rip stuff apart, I just do it LOL.
Great Video! I have no knowledge of vans or fixing automobiles and I found this very entertaining! If I get get a van with a wonky window button, I know what video to watch. I just need to get myself a pokey thing! 😀😂😂 You’re a great and patient teacher. Very easy to follow.
Lol no mate I just kind of got use to doing it backwards . It dose shock emma sometimes tho when her window suddenly opens lol . I get that look ..you know the one mate . But Nop bud Iv not even looked
Oh mate I checked VW by me and they where quoting the same kind of price . I’ll admit the one i fitted isn’t the best made so I’m going ro pick up a propper one for about £60 and re fit it . It works fine but the mirror adjustment can be a little glitchy . But for the windows it’s perfect
The 'Pokey Thing' or as it is referred to in the US "Poker' has been a staple in both traditional and modern lives since the dawn of the industrial age. Invented in 1620 by George T. Pokerson as a means of fending off lab rats during times of virulent outbursts, the originql Pokey Thing was little more than a meal rod with an end that was sharpened to a slight point. Far different than the Pokey Things of todays mroe elegent design.
Hi John, thank for the comment, we are both on Instagram more than the other platforms, and we both also enjoy watching people build and make things on different channels, there are so many talented people out there and have so many interesting ideas, we love anyone who thinks outside of the box and makes it work!

Hi Neil. Did you manage to find a RHD switch or did you fit a LHD switch...? I can find hundreds of LHD ones but not sure if the plugs are the same..?
Lol no mate I just kind of got use to doing it backwards . It dose shock emma sometimes tho when her window suddenly opens lol . I get that look ..you know the one mate . But Nop bud Iv not even looked
Just watched closely and looks like you have the same as me.... How to confuse a Brummie 😮😂😂
Great but I see u have a armrest foam on the door did u buy that or did it be on the year
It was already on the door
Oh yeah, and I love your on-camera presence! 👍
Arrr thanks mate I’m just a fool being me lol
Nice one. I think someone may tackle this themselves after watching this. Simple job but can still be tricky. Well done. 👍
cheers mate , i just hope some one sees an idiot doing it and take the job on them selves
Cheers buddy, very helpful indeed. I did replace the drivers door ten years ago but forgot how to install it. Thank you.
Lol yer man I’m the same to be honest I forget all kinds then have to look it up again
Thanks. Ordered a replacement on AliExpress but didn't know how to fit it.
Happy to help!
Thank you for this one,Mercedes Trucks wanted £200 to supply and fit that item to my van.Just like you £12.95 ebay.
Oh mate I checked VW by me and they where quoting the same kind of price . I’ll admit the one i fitted isn’t the best made so I’m going ro pick up a propper one for about £60 and re fit it . It works fine but the mirror adjustment can be a little glitchy . But for the windows it’s perfect

I have nothing to say to this . I was going to go in to this in the next video but you stole my thunder here mate . Bravo sir bravo
@@UrbanVanlife ah! I didnt mean to steal your thunder! Lol my apologies!
Dude you explained it better than I could . I’d just end up messing about and mr pokerson would be well pissed at me
@@UrbanVanlife mr pokerson does get a bit testy
Easy when you know how
Now where's me screwdriver lol
yer mate iv never done it before and was shocked by how it was
Haha who needs trim removers if you have a pokey thing👌🍗
Every one needs a poker mate every one
You f* legend thanks for saving me $795 AUD from Brighton Mercedes 😩🤣
Wow that’s a win!
Best way to replace the switch is to buy a better make of van .VW is notorious for electric and electronic problems.
Weird you say that cos 6 makes of vans use the same company for switches . Which make would you recomend
Pokey thing. LMAO!
Jack of all trades love it do you check out youtube for how to jobs you not done before.😎 are you on facebook
