Weekender Bench seat cargo door mods....
« 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.

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

Currently working the kinks out of the initial very small test production run. (If anyone would like to receive a notification when they are available, feel free to PM your email address.)
