We are doing up our camper van and are having trouble finding a set of these anywhere. One went on E Bay last week for £27.00! unbelievable. Just Kampers do not sell them although they do sell the centre piece.
Anybody have any ideas on what we can do.

Hello and welcome to the forum..

Hi and yes it's a problem for everyone.

Some are secretly hoping that Herr Gunzl will remanufacture them in Germany as he's probably got the tooling or knows who supplied them to VW originally. Either that or VW Classic Parts (also in Germany) will re-stock them as the level of desperation in T3 circles across Europe certainly justifies it.

(tip: this sort of thing goes down well in Technical, Alternative and Modified < Bodywork)

As you were, Rev'rand

Supply and demand I'm afraid ... you want the parts and they aren't available so the ebay price is what peeps are willing to pay.

I'd PM Billy739 on here, he's a van breaker and will no-doubt have some knocking around ?

Thanks for the heads up! I have a new pair in the shed. Ebay here we come!!

i have a set of all four new in safe place, not attached to the van as they get knocked off laning or nicked by the light fingered, will only be fitted to the van when it gets repainted or sold

that's like plastic carpet covers, or suite covers, they come off when you have visitors

Good luck finding them

Do the Mini ones fit? Or did I imagine that?

I had one nicked off the van,it was stuck on as well,reckon they may have stuffed it up taking it off

All my trims are off
it's the So Cal look


yeah baby

Yes the mini ones fit providing they're warm when fitted and you use some kind of mastic. My chrome ones have been on for six years.

There are some on here..

Chrome ones too. Unless Im thinking of the wrong part?

Take Cov Kids advice, only manipulate your end when it's warm.

I have early gutters and trims won't fit. Easy solution
