Black steel bars

Post by Trigger »

Hi guys. Me again!

I'm looking at getting some of those black steel bars for my caddy maxi (58 plate) however the ads on eBay say they only fit the more modern ones...

Is that right or will they still fit on to my one?

Thanks in advance

Not sure about the eBay ones but I got mine from Vanstyle and they are listed for "Caddy Maxi LWB 04>15 and 15>" i.e. same item for all, so from that I would assume that they fit the same. It's a simple job of removing 3 rubber bungs on each sill and inserting the metal plate brackets with the bolts, and doing up the nuts. Hardest bit is getting them even & straight, and easier with 2 people so that someone can take the weight while the other torques up the nuts.

These are mine from Vanstyle on a 2017 mk4:

Anyone out there know what size the rubber bungs are ? do they have a part number ?
I'm about to remove my bars, they came with the van when I bought it, and I want to put bungs back on the sills
Cheers

Hi Ripley,

Sorry I can’t help with part numbers.

But what are you doing with the side bars once you have removed them?

Thanks Simon.

Hi Ripley,

Cheers for the offer, very kind of you. But you are a little far for me to collect with me being in the north west!

I’ll get some from vanstyle at some point but I thought it was worth an ask.

Thanks Simon.
