What did you do to your van today?

Post by the swan fiend »

I’ve been soundproofing the cab floor over the last few days. I will be starting the rear and the doors after that. ImageImageImage

Fare play, but thats a bit drasticImage, i had these on my 18 plate, no issues, mirror just used to gently come to a stop as it touched the deflector, no worries of burning the motors out etc.

You say no worries but there is a worry when the mirror fold motor is tripping out on its current limit rather than hitting the end stop. You may not have seen a degradation in the motor life but that's not to say it will never happen.

I agree with you there Doc.
@r1lea that’s a really nice job you’ve done there mate.
I’ve finished soundproofing the cab today. Took me a while around working night shifts, but it’s now done.

The reason i said no worries was because it was exactly that, mine used to just gently kiss the deflector as it came to a stop, if it had of forced itself into the deflector under force putting the motor etc under stress then id understand the need to either remove the deflectors or cut them down.

Thanks guys.
I don’t know about a business venture 😂😂😂
Hef they are quite straight forward. I don’t know if they would fit in Touran mirrors as they are a bit smaller
