The stuff they use for transits. I think it might be causing the paint to crack

What great work. Can I ask what you are going to put in the seams. Just had loads of work dine to my van bt the paint is cracking at the seams. I am wondering if it is because what has been used.

Jeanie

Was no cheap 1500 this was not including the work that went on before it was painted. I will take it back see what they say. Would just like to be fore armed with what could be causing the problem before I go back to them. They said they have used what ever they use to fill seams in transits etc. I ...

Just got my van from the paintshop about 2 weeks ago. I have noticed that there are hairline cracks appearing in most of the vertical seams. Does anyone know what sould be causing this?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Jeanie

I don't think that is the case, we have the original brochure from Autohomes and it shows the same spec for the hi-top Kameo. I have seen a few of these vans about the place same year same roof. I tend to agree with Lloydy on this one, the apprentice did ours and probably on a Friday afternoon :D Je...

Its a 1985 Kameo here you can see it with the duck take on it. The guy thats restoring it recons we need about 25mm to cover the centre bit with less as it goes down to the sides. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee258/Jeanie_046/DSC_0110-1.jpg Aye lloydy that looks better than duck tape.

Hi there, I don't know if I am in the right section but I am trying to find a seal (anything ) that will seal the gap between my hi top and the van. Does anyone out there have any ideas. This is the final piece in the jigsaw. the picture below shows the gap I am hoping to fill. Before it was just co...

Hello John I agree thats why there is no expense spaired when it come to Kiz. We also make sure her crate has plenty of stuff packed round it so it to cannot move. I don't think she would ever wear a harness she is just too mad!!!

Jeanie

We travel eveywhere with Kizzy in her crate she loves it and I think she feels much safer there. If she was just sitting on the back seat and I had an accident at 50mph I would never forgive myself as she was propelled thru the van at 50mph to end up against the back of my seat! http://i231.photobuc...

Hi guys, In the middle og getting the rusty bits sorted on my van. Was just wondering what is the best seam sealer to get? How do I go about getting it into the seams. Would be grateful for any advice.
Thanks Jeanie

Do Vw still have panels? Did not know that! That would be great then would not need to worry about inferior quality for my van. Would I just phone a Vw commertial garage? We had one down the road but they just do cars now

Thanks for that.
