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. ✅

Great looking interior. Get my van in the coming week, nice heads up about the alcantara will look in to that.

I have worked with material nearly all my life, but I can't tell you how many times I have cut or fixed a piece the wrong way round - you are not alone!

smashing it mate the van is taking shape and looking sick looking forward to the next one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍

Great video & content. Looking forward to the next video

top effort Chris lad, looks boss, again brilliant narration and comedy, your a natural 🤟🤟👌👌💪💪❤️

i"ve got the same caddy just the extended version drives like shit but still get the job done. love what you did with it

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!

Question for you would you drill roof board first then glue alcentara then use like a darning needle to push through material if you did this again and where did you purchase the fibre optic kit thanks in advance

Hey mate, top job! How is it with heat retention now?

True but carpet is more sound deadened and warmer 😊 maybe wood in the summer 🤣

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?

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.

What wires were you using to tap into the lights? Currently got led downlights ready to fit but wanted to run it off the switch like standard

Looking good pal don’t know if u did it off cam but just done the same 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

The mistake 😂 not the first person to do that and won't be the last.

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.
