Re: Footwell water leak

Haha i know what you mean.. i sometimes just sit in it for a chill anyway even though its completely empty apart from the seats. If you get on your back and put your head right under the parcel shelf (my feet where on the drivers seat raised) you can actually see all the way up to the windscreen Ton...

Re: Footwell water leak

Hope you have solved it, but isn't the leak more above the indicator void in the area at the back of the headlight maybe, and what you are seeing through the indicator hole is remnants of the leak as it travels down from above. Hi Tony, Thanks hope so too. Above was the first place i looked and all...

Footwell water leak

Found a strange place to be having the above mentioned water leak. It's on the passenger side behind the radiator cap and I've pictured it and circled it. I've checked under the dash no water what so ever just this spot that could only be coming from the front maybe headlight area as it drips and ru...

Re: Caravelle window panel

Had a reply , I did ask about cost , sizes etc but nothing sent Hi Darryl,  We don't do anything for that area on a converted panel van unfortunately. The only thing we make, is the panel van top half replacement, so basically no windows. You could cut windows into them panels, but by the time you'...

Re: Caravelle window panel

Don’t trust log book descriptions, many converters lied when changing details to up the value .  autosleeper is well known for putting Caravelle on the log book when it was only a panel van . autohomes ( CI) also did it , also they did use base model Velle’s sometimes . Thanks Mocki, my friend was ...

Re: Caravelle window panel

I think on this van it should of been done many years ago, the last owner just bodged it best he could and now after standing for 3 years its as bad as it can get i would say.

If it was minor like in the corner i reckon i would just grind and patch it?

Re: Caravelle window panel

ImageImageImage Hi mm,

Thanks for your response. 

I have attached these photos.. 
The measurements are 1050x410 and 960x460.

I think the back one is flush.
Is there aftermarket options for me?
