Really like your idea of repurposing the bulkhead for over cab storage, I’m just about to start converting my Crafter 4Motion and will consider it for mine. I think I might try a sheet of aluminium for the shelf, cutting tabs out and riveting to the bulkhead and framework in the cab. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for watching was looking at about ideas but decided to try and use the bulkhead panel. Think it turned out ok and the shelf is very strong, aluminium would be good to use also. Depending what your going to use it for make sure you add support in the centre as it’s quiet a long stretch for the shelf panel. I added some support after the first fit as I found it sagged slightly in the middle. No issue with that now so I’m confident I can put a fair bit of weight on it if I need to. 👍🏻

You have done a great job. Had mine converted and they should have insulated over the cab but didn’t. Also fitted a shelf and just screwed in to the headlining. Needless to say I will strip it out and utilise your useful video. Thanks and all the very best

Thank you for your comment, insulation is the key I think when doing a conversion. Sorry to hear that quite, amazing that they would screw a shelf to the headlining as that offers no support. Hope the video will help if you have any questions comment on here and I’ll try and help if I can. 👍🏻👍🏻

Many thanks for your videos! I like the look of the tweed. Can you tell me the supplier? Also is it easy to reinstall the headliner? Thanks for any info

Thanks for watching 👍🏻. The tweed was from a supplier on eBay here’s the link for the one I used www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252197862682?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=9ZzkCLPhQPC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=VpZcwKQnTKm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY The headliner is a pain to get out because of the clips that hold the sun visors in place. When you get those out it’s pretty straight forward to put back in. Just be careful not to break the clips, it’s worth buying the flat nose pliers to do the job.

Hi Getting there with recovering the headliner in tweed. Overall pretty pleased but I have a few thin creases that I’d like to sort out. Any advice? TIA
@luxduoverland6743 ай бұрын
Hi The best way I found to get creases out was using a heat gun to warm the tweed. It allowed a slight bit of stretch enabling you to pull it and work into place better. This got rid of any creases I had and smoothed things out nicely.

Another headliner question! How did you fix the rear of the headliner to the ‘letterbox’ panel? Did you use the original black plastic moulding?
@luxduoverland6742 ай бұрын
Hi, no I’ve added a strip on batten to the underneath of the shelf as I’ve added curtains along the bulkhead and needed fixing points for the curtain rail. I’ve screwed up through the rail and headliner into this batten, it’s right along the edge and you can’t see the batten just a small curtain rail. It’s a good solid fixing all the way along which supports the headliner really well.

Quick question. Did you have any problems getting the headliner back in with the thickness of the tweed added?

No it went back in place without any issues at all.
