Panel Van Window surround opposite the sliding door problem

Post by ashman »

My '86 panel van has had a window fitted in the panel opposite the sliding door which is all well and good.
The problem is that I am in the process of trimming it out inside and noticed that the interior box section panel that should surround the window and give it a recessed look is missing! It seems strange and makes life awkward when it comes to putting in that trim panel as I am left with a massive void where the interior box section should be.
Is this how the panel van was manufactured or have they missed it off in the Friday afternoon rush?
Thanks

Ash :roll:

Put a 'wanted ad' in the appropriate forum. I bought one 4 years ago and payed ~£20 if I remember correctly :wink:

Try Syncro-nutz in Shotts. When they did some work on my van on late '05 the one that used to be in my van was surplus and I gave it to them, they may still have it. They'll need paying for their trouble and postage of course, as they have families to feed.
