I have only just found your post, a bit late sorry? I discovered the post whilst researching trauma with my windows fitted to my Devon Firefly Transit Custom. The windows leak in heavy rain and probably worse look hideous because they don't fit the van. These are SGI aftermarket windows fitted by Devon from new. As you say they do not match the radius/curvature of the van and look rubbish. Also the drains are blocked and the windows leak inside from the sliding track and there is danger that the door card could be damaged with damp. I have contacted a local to me van converter, I have asked him to quote me to fit genuine Ford sliding windows as replacements the same as fitted to the Tourneo. I note that you say avoid cheap windows and accept these are probably going to cost me in excess of £600 each. I look forward to a solution. Thanx for the great video.

@ssv71423 жыл бұрын
No alternative at the minute Ben, they're a terrible company and the product isn't great but once it's fitted it's worth having, just make sure you have the seat base sitting flat before you tighten the nuts or it won't operate. same goes for reattaching the seat. Just use washers as needed to make the base and the seat sit flat.

How do you find sleeping across the van? If you're tall would your feet hit the side panels a lot?

Until recently I have a VW T4 which was much narrower so it wasn't an option.

@angeliquevanengelen4 жыл бұрын
Hey there, I have watched this video when I installed the plate and today, the day my van failed its MOT on bushes and the passenger seat being insecure... I undid all the bolts, took the seat off the plate and then investigated. The plate itself was loose. I tried to fasten the torques but no chance they'd sink in deeper. So to get to the bottom of this, I unscrewed all the torque bolts and the one nut. The bolts had corroded quite badly from underneath the van. So I cleaned them up and fastened the lot in again. STILL the plate had play. Undid every bolt again and then noticed that there were three long bolts and one shorter one. So I then figured that the shorter one went at the door side toward the rear of the van. Then the plate was rock solid. Put the chair back on and even ythough my van passed its MOT, the chair would not swivel?!? So I undid everything again and then loosened the bolt in the triangle. That helped a lot. Then, loosening the nuts that actually hold the chair to the plate helped. How safe this is, I'm beginning to severely doubt.... I have a mark 7 transit too (recently purchased), and I've gotten a different plate for that. It has none of these problems and the chair turns ever so easily??? Something went wrong with this design!
@ssv71424 жыл бұрын
If you're unable to swivel it with the bolts done up then it's not sitting square with the floor, you'll need some more washers to space it off. I ended up with extra washers between the van and the swivel and between the swivel and the seat!
@timh73664 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the great video. Nice to see I’m not alone. With no other options I have recently bought one of these for my transit custom. I’m having lots of issues. The instructions don’t seem to match the vehicle (no clear use for the 6mm washers) and I definitely need some spacers under the unit. I have tried various combinations with washers and I’m never able to lock all four securing bolts. I have contacted Customshop Designs and so far they have indicated they don’t recognise the issue, which seems odd based on so many reports. I have mentioned this video and now awaiting further response. I would really appreciate some advice on how to proceed. What setup has worked best for people and whether, once working, it remains that way or do the issues keep returning? Cheers

Good afternoon William, The item can be locked into place in the rear facing position. Please see point 13. on your instruction sheet for the information: Adjust it into position by aligning the notches of the top / bottom plate on the left and right hand of the plate and lock down the front near side and rear offside handles to secure the seat in position. Also see youtube clip kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5XHdmeHnrZrga8 for additional help
@customshopdesigns79654 жыл бұрын
The seat swivel base should also be rotated anti-clockwise as stated within the instructions: Rotate slightly anticlockwise, slide slightly towards the passenger door then turn 90 degrees, pull back slightly to the drivers side then complete the action by turning it a full 180 degrees. Any problems there is a youtube clip kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2SuZZxsjL6hftE for additional help (Once tried a couple of times it is a really easy operation to carry out).

@snowdoniaadventureactiviti25495 жыл бұрын
The design is the only way it would appear for a bench seat to turn around in such a small space, its amazing it can to be honest! I found it took a few hours to fit, but no major dramas if you follow the instructions exactly. It takes me about 2mins give or take to turn the seat around, and i have to remove the headrests. All the pins drop down in to the holes on their own if you turn them 90 degrees and move the seat slightly; forcing them doesnt work! Although its not perfect, i dont see how else you can do double swivel seat. I added some extra washers at the back of the seat base to tip it forwards slightly, so that when its rotated, youre not falling out of the seat in to the back. I didnt have to cut any wires or wiring ducts, only some of the flooring out as specified in the instructions (i recommend not cutting too much out around the protruding part of the base stencil, otherwise when you rotate the upper seat the base can catch on the plastic flooring (if the flooring is not pinned down underneath the bottom base unit)

I have just finished my 2015 Custom.. different layout to you, I have a single bed along the offside and cooker/ sink over the nearside wheel arch..I have seen videos of people digging out the pre wired loom near to the small round cut out at the bottom of the rear off side door pillar.. I searched and searched for mine but never found it !! a power point there would have been very useful.. I fitted mine out with ply all round and stretch carpet etc.. I ran power to both rear door posts and as it turned out I was glad I did, both are in use for all manner of things...My advice would be to fit a diesel heater now if you are going to, I didnt do it at the time then found there were very few options on where I could put it..I have decided against it and use a free standing gas heater from go outdoors, still puts out 2kw and is £30.. I didnt fancy knocking great holes through the van floor.. and you need to be able to get to those heaters for maintenance, so decided against it... I have used the storage under the passenger seats for my leisure batteries and fuse box etc, so easy to maintain when the seats are lifted. I am looking at rotating seats on the passenger side as a future improvement, I couldnt find a system for my year of van at the time but am now told they are available.. I could go on for ages. Will be watching your vids with interest.
