After some Ba####D ran in to our van in the night and drove off! rear left hand side damage!I desperately need help locating a D pillar? The insurance company say they can get most parts for the repair (£4000) worth!!! but can not locate a D pillar whatever that is!! if I cant find one then they might write the van off!!! any help would be great!!!

I think your "bluestar" D pillar is the same as a panel van D pillar :D

you can't

they are now obsolete.

I've been after one for ages, I have a right side, but left side is going to be second hand
My hopes were raised when a search revealed this in france http://en.serial-kombi.com/t25-rear-cor ... 34223.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
But the website does not list it any more..it's a ghost page

Sorry to butt in,

but the above part is not obsolete, I have just got one and fitted it to my van, not an easy job! You can get a genuine VW part from Just Campers :ok its exactly the same as the one in the picture the panel with steel vents is obsolete. Having read the above thread again my panel was a drivers side so Im not sure if L/H is available worth a check though

Just checked myself and it seems you are all correct, good job I only needed the R/H corner panel good look

No problem
but you can get the Air cooled rear corners (steel vents).. they are available.

I could suggest aquiring one and modifying it by cutting the steel vent out
