Title: Weekender Bench seat cargo door mods....
Post by: thinkpad on May 11, 2016, 08:57:52 pm

So - my cargo doors have been broken since the day I got the van 5 years ago.  I have been limping along with velco - ugh.  I would get a new set but cannot seem to source any.  Does anyone have a way to fix these rather than put the on permanent.  I wonder if a hinge with some kind of latch or maganet would work?

Any ideas welcome - thanks!

I'm actually working on some prototype replacements for these right now. Feel free to PM me if you're interested in participating.

Did you ever come up with a solution (improvement)- I gather this is the two doors under the front of the benchseat

Yes - those door/panels. This thread on The Samba has details on what I came up with:
