Really clear, no frills, no waffle video. Thank you very much. I’ve always been pleased with the stuff I’ve bought from Kiravans, curtains, swivel seat etc and used the vids to fit them without any problems.

[@kiravans5874]

Our pleasure!

[@davegil521]

Great vid! Can you explain the role of the primer? Why is it needed and do you need to leave it before applying the adhesive?

[@radicaltoma]

Great video! I just finished installing the MultiRail. I like the part where you're using the masking tape to hold the rail in place. Brilliant idea, couldn't have done it without!

[@Monika-no3ud]

Danke , sehr gut erklärt!

[@witchmouthbtc2197]

Nice video and also nice to see you guys at kiravans doing more videos

[@aberdeenaviationphotograph9311]

10 out of 10. That's what a decent help video should be. Thanks!

[@kiravans5874]

Thanks, Warren!

[@down4first774]

Thank you. Clear and easy to follow.

[@dmc2978]

Maybe you should show this to Jacks Shack near Loughborough. They fitted mine, first trip out water poured through between rail and van, the end piece fell off and the screws are rusting staining my paint work 🙄

[@leflob938]

I kind of ask myself if the screws are that necessary... Sikaflex in this amount is easyly enough to hold the bar on it's own and the screws make a hole in the van that might get rusty or starts leaking over time...

[@kiravans5874]

You're right, Sikaflex is very strong but the screws add that extra security for windy days or sudden gusts. Drilling into the side of your van isn't for everyone but you know it's not going to come off.

[@fpdizzle]

This may be a daft question but do the screw holes come through into the inside of the van? I have a camper conversion and don’t want to damage the internal fittings with the end of the screw.

[@kiravans5874]

Hi Thank you for your contact. You would need to drill right through both sets of skins of the body work but the screw shouldn't unsafely come through they should screw in flush.

[@ollysimpson103]

Like another viewer I found the 3mm drill too big and couldn't tighten the screw as the hole was too big for the screws supplied. Luckily I'd only drilled the first hole so did the rest with a 2.5mm drill bit which accommodated the screws perfectly

[@atprodT700]

hello, what is the reference of the SIKAFLEX primer you are using? thank you

[@couchy2060]

What anti rust primer do you use? Thanks

[@VS-es2sd]

Is it possible for a T4 Multivan too ?

[@CMB_Vinyl]

Is there any alternative to use instead of degreasing agent?

[@kiravans5874]

This step is not essential, but it is strongly recommended. The degreasing agent is simply to make sure the metalwork is clean and dry before you apply the adhesive. If the surface isn't properly clean, it may cause the rail to not stick to the bodywork quite as well. This could cause problems later on in the life of your rail.

[@kiravans5874]

Any degreasing product should work. White spirits, tar remover etc...

[@MulchRacing]

Which Pimer you used? Sika 207?

[@kiravans5874]

Sika 206

[@2wheelsdown131]

on the front screws did you drill just the fist skin or did you need to go into the 2nd skin as well, thx

[@kiravans5874]

Hi Gary, yes you need to go through both skins of metal for a few of the screw holes. Sorry, should've mentioned that.

[@sarahedwards4011]

What primer are you using?

[@kiravans5874]

Hello - Sikaflex Primer 206 G&P Black (250ml) Sikaflex Primer 206 G&P Black (250ml).

Really frustrated with this video. I purchased the rail from Kiravans. Good advice with the masking tape, terrible advice recommending 3.2mm drill before fittings screws. Holes are now too big and won’t tighten! A competitor video shows drilling holes with the self drilling screws supplied, no need for pre-drilling the holes! Now I have to find another solution for larger diameter screws which will fit the countersink on the rail!

[@SuperBadger999]

When i first watched this video i asked myself what happens when you drill the holes incorrectly - Game over! really sorry to hear this. Terrible way to make an upgrade especially if you have a brand new van

[@linoleumbonypart385]

Works well using the self drilling tekscrews

[@SuperBadger999]

making holes in a brand new van ... NO thanks!

[@kevinmulligan9055]

They rails are a complete rip off for the fact all they are is piece of profile alu. Much better solutions that are much cheaper.
