Hello
Can anyone tell me if there should be a grill or trim in the oblong hole in the B pillar below the door latch?
I'm putting my van back together and can't find anything to fit or even remember if I took anything out?
Help please.

Thanks,
Mike.

the two vans i have owned have had nowt there.just the hole...

Your common or garden poverty model basic caravelle or panel van would have left the factory with this gaping hole in the 'B' post on both the O/S and N/S front doors as it is part of the rear roof ventilation (air outlets) which supply fresh air only to the central conpartment of the vehicle.

A 'B' post air duct gasket (a nice finished louvered vent ) was made available for the executive models ie top of the range Caravelles (the Carat) and the LLE's and also the Westy campers I think,,,,,,

PS, their is also an edge trim available to cover the sharp edge of the 2 spot welded vertical seams shown in the picture....

Thank you both.
So looks like I didn't loose them then, I just have a poverty spec van.
I do have the edge trim though. Just waiting till I trim the pillars before fitting.

wooo hoooo!!!

I have the superior trim!!! (possible the only thing on the van that is...)Nice louvre things with felt round them...

shortly to be on e-bay as cherry and Carat and rare!!!!

hehehe

Funny, I was looking at that hole on my Atlantic last night and wondering if a previous owner had forgotten to put the trim back on .....

Update .... Drivers side not there, but I do have the trim on the passenger side

both the caravelles i broke had that trim, one early one late, just bog standard velles, the GL one i had didnt have it,..

In which case im after the trim to fit nearside (drivers side as mines a left hooker) if anyones got a spare ?????

And I'd like both if the're out there, cos it looks unfinished without.
Thanks.

remind me tomorrow, and ill have a look see in my shed of bits, see if i have any left, its a while since i broke those vans, cant remember if i kept the trims or not.........i know i have seat belt covers, door handles and visors, but cant remember seeing those last time i was furraging in there

Mike gets first shout of course, but I'll have second dib please

like i said, remind me tomorrow when i should have time to pop by the workshop and have a look see...... dont even know if i have any to be sure

Cheers Mocki
