Great point about how the upholstery hides imperfections, I hadn't considered that.

All great solutions for those hard to finish areas. For the B pillar I cut the side section from the metal bulkhead, scribed it to fit, covered it with stretch carpet and installed it using the existing bolt holes.

Excellent prospective on the hard bits of finishing trim inside your sprinter. We heard you and all the others out there struggling to get an " outfitter " quality interior. Terrawagen now offers an interior trim kit to address the areas you cover in your video. We released the rear trim kit a few weeks ago, and the front kit will be available towards the end of Jan 2023. Love what you're doing! Get your flare on!

Great video and really well explained. I've been looking for something different to line the walls of my VW Caddy van (I'm UK based) and have seen a few photos of this tweed looking material being used but only saw it on flat panels and wondered if it had enough stretch to do cover complex shapes. Your video has given me a bit of hope that it could work! The B pillar covered on the Caddy look a more tricky than yours but I think I'll give it a go. Thank you.

This is awesome. You are totally right, those little details take a van from a nice DIY finish to a next level professional finish. I have one question about the rear pillars. Did you just let your luan trim piece lay over the wires and bolt that go about half way down the pillar? The ones that are normally covered by the black plastic trim. And I also want to ask what you used to cut those foam blocks by the headliner? They seem pretty... flaky? Thanks!
