They look the business Gordon, the vans looking great 😎👍

[@GDUBTV]

Thanks, not too many bits left to add now

[@rezreaver]

they look stunning

[@GDUBTV]

Thanks 👊🏼

I did notice a large gap on the outside edge of these blinds.

[@paulkabluckyj3078]

Why is there a gap on the top half of the blinds on the sides

[@steve_and_lolas_hikes]

If only it was that easy. I had to buy longer Tek bolts and the ones at the top are still too short. Not the best design.

[@GDUBTV]

They fitted mine for me, but sounds like you got yours all sorted... well done!

[@PaulMi11s]

Another great video, and a nice intro to Vanshades for me... how does there blackout perform? atm, we end up putting thermal covers behind our blackout curtains.. so the Vanshades look like a great alternative.

[@GDUBTV]

Complete blackout 👌🏼

[@paulhoughton2550]

When will you be posting a video of you fitting the splashback? Will you show all stages including the scribing and cutting to size? I look forward to see this as I am currently looking into buying a splashback 👍

[@GDUBTV]

I’m actually fitting it tomorrow, won’t be doing a step by step install video on it tho as VanShades have their own install videos.

[@paulhoughton2550]

GDUBTV ok bud, I’ve been trying to find a vid showing how people actually measure and cut to size as the vanshades vid only shows the install after it was cut to size👍

[@GDUBTV]

The way I did it was to offer the splashback up behind the unit. The splashback has a protective film on the top so I pushed the unit up against the splashback and used a biro to mark the line along the side of the cupboard unit and across the worktop edge, using the biro to mark the protective film. Then use a few strips of masking tape to protect the edges around the side of your lines that your gonna cut. I used a laminate jigsaw blade (on VanShades advice).. from there fitting is as per their video. Hope that helps mate 👊🏼

[@paulhoughton2550]

GDUBTV thanks for the advice, I don’t have a gap all the way long behind the kitchen and everything is fitted in place I have made a template to fit the space and I am going to ask vanshades if they will make a brushed aluminium one to my sizes🤞

[@vwtransportersandmotorcycl3729]

You said you weren’t going to fit windows at the back 😂

[@nick27j]

Can you please confirm your happy with these 😂 only joking they look great, my only concern is them taking up to much of the window and it being a little dark inside. What’s your thoughts?

[@GDUBTV]

The side ones are fine in that the frames don’t really obscure the window aperture at all, the barn door ones though do make the rear windows a little smaller tho.

[@rhyssimms591]

Awsome vid, if VW transporters were to go extinct, due to poaching and over fishing, what van would you get to replace it? ie transit custom, or Sprinter. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🏼

[@GDUBTV]

Can I choose a Crafter?

[@rhyssimms591]

Gordon you pick what you want

[@GDUBTV]

Crafter, then maybe a Transit Custom MS-RT.. I do like those! How about you?

[@russellshotter5759]

Evening bud, noticed you fitted Vanshades with after you fitted your aftermarket windows, how did you get away with the window pod knocking against the black window edging trim ? Did you cut off the trim then carpet the edges before you fitted the pods? Cheers

[@peter-bb9dv]

What about the Front doors windscreen et cetera Cheers,.

[@iamlukemorrison]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqvFdaCNj96lidU He's covered... Literally!

[@GDUBTV]

@@iamlukemorrison Cheers bud ;)

[@GDUBTV]

Yeah, I've got an external windscreen wrap that covers the front and the sides, but I'm going to change that for an internal set that attach separately with magnets. Personally I find them a little easier and they suit the way we use the van better :)

[@russellmasters5764]

Nice wheels. What are they?

[@crazyroynewman]

excellent video as always..van is coming along nicely..them shades are very cool and lots of colours to choose from and the price is resonable too..ʘ‿ʘ

[@GDUBTV]

Thanks pal 👊🏼

[@Jasonion74]

👍

[@daz575]

They look good but the price is way to expensive, there plain greedy,

[@GDUBTV]

They are on the more expensive side, but having seen the way they are designed and crafted they’re not cheap moulds or materials. It’s great gear, hence the price.
