Side door fills
I've seen some side door infills which are painted the same colour as the van to hide the rails...
Where do you buy them from ?

Re: Side door fills
They’re called sliding door rail covers. Best place I found was reflex auto design. You get a rail and cover kit, if you don’t change the rail and use your standard one they rattle about as there’s nothing in the middle to secure them too. Also make sure you have the welded on bracket on the front otherwise you have to buy the kit with the bracket aswell.

Re: Side door fills
Could not tell you how much they are now but as a rough guide I would say between £35-£40. You will not need the rail cover inner front bracket as your year of Caddy will already have the factory one fitted. As mentioned above you will need to get a new sliding door rail which comes complete with the 2 spot welded brackets on it as this rail fastens/supports the rail cover between the front and back of the vehicle and stops it rattling/vibrating when moving. However some people on here have used various adhesives and just stuck the rail cover to the existing sliding door rail top lip to overcome the rattling/vibration. I personally bought the proper sliding door rail as I wanted it done the oem route. Costs more but the job is done properly.

Re: Side door fills
Thanks for the reply !
202353542866 ebay item number would I still need a new rail with this ?
If so where can you purchase both the new rail and the part itself ?
Thanks

Re: Side door fills
I had a look for one on reflex a few weeks ago I think it was around £130 for the full kit with everything you will need.

Re: Side door fills
That one on eBay is a £42 part you can buy from your local VW parts desk, there's no need to pay over the odds on it.

Re: Side door fills

Re: Side door fills
If you have a facility to paint then just buy the parts from VW, if not then ReflexAutoDesign is a good option.
The rail with the cover fixing points is the best way to fit the cover although lots of people have fitted the cover without the appropriate rail.

Re: Side door fills
The full parts list is in the "Useful Part Numbers" thread in the how-to section.
To do it properly, you need the rail, rail cover, two bolts and speed nuts and a plastic clip.

Re: Side door fills
As I said and Doc, to do it properly get the proper rail, and make sure to grease the rail before installing the rail cover. It is a dead easy mod and takes no time at all to do. Half hour tops per side if applicable.
