Sliding door grinds on VW Bulli?

We have the Solution!

With our repair kit, you can fix the problem quickly, easily and permanently - without a visit to the workshop!

Solve problem
Repair sliding door grinding and paint damage

Is the sliding door trim of your Volkswagen Bulli grinding against the rear wheel arch or mudguard and causing unsightly and expensive damage to the vehicle's paintwork? After fitting our repair kit, the problem is permanently solved!

Cause: Missing holder since facelift model

From the T5.2 facelift model up to the current T6.1, Volkswagen has omitted two central brackets from the sliding door trim. The omission of these holders sooner or later leads to deformation or bulging of the sliding door trim, which is why it rubs against the rear wheel arch when opened.

Inadequate solutions from Volkswagen

Volkswagen is aware of the problem, but has not yet provided a satisfactory solution. There is a TPI (Technical Product Information) which contains two supposed solutions. Either the sliding door is readjusted or the panel is completely replaced. However, the problem recurs after some time, as the central retaining points are still missing.

Innovative and durable repair solution

Our repair kit has been developed and designed for a permanent solution and is made of extremely durable and heat-resistant material. The holders are simply glued into the designated injection points. The opposite holes in the bodywork are already present ex works.

Simple retrofitting thanks to repair guide

Thanks to our repair guide, installation is child's play. This comprehensive guide contains illustrated step-by-step instructions that guide you through the entire process from removing to reinstalling the sliding door trim to successfully retrofit the holders.

Perfect solution for an annoying problem!

Super! Does what it promises, fits perfectly and can be retrofitted to the aforementioned fairing without any problems. The gap between the fairing and the wheel arch is significantly larger. Can only recommend it!

Find out more about our Repair kit.

Browse through the most frequently asked questions to get a better idea of our repair kit.
Does the repair kit fit all Volkswagen T5 and T6 models?

Our repair kit is compatible from the VW T5.2 (facelift model) up to the current VW T6.1. It was specially developed for these models, where the central retaining points of the sliding door trim are missing from the factory. Excluded are the Transporter and California model series as well as panels with integrated table.

Can I fit the repair kit myself or do I need a workshop?

You can easily carry out the installation yourself. Thanks to our illustrated step-by-step instructions, installation is quick and easy - even without prior knowledge or special tools.

How long does the installation take?

Installation usually takes around 20-30 minutes. All you have to do is fit the brackets with the prepared adhesive surfaces and retrofit them - and the problem is solved.

Do I need additional tools?

No, no additional special tools are required. All the necessary parts are included in the kit. Only a standard plastic wedge or a screwdriver can help to carefully loosen the cover.

Do I have to drill or screw?

No! The repair kit is simply glued to the designated injection points. The matching counterparts in the body are already present ex works.

Is the adhesive included in the kit?

Yes, high-quality special adhesive is included so that you can start fitting straight away.

Can the sliding door still be opened and closed without any problems after installation?

Yes, our repair kit ensures that the trim no longer rubs against the wheel arch so that the sliding door works perfectly again.

Does the repair kit solve the problem permanently?

Yes, our repair kit has been specially developed to permanently fix the problem. Unlike the solutions proposed by Volkswagen, our kit ensures that the trim does not bulge or grind again.

Is the repair kit also suitable for vehicles with electric sliding doors?

Yes, our repair kit can also be retrofitted to electric sliding doors without any problems. The function of the electric sliding door remains fully intact.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are dispatched within 24 hours. The delivery time within Germany is usually 1-2 working days. Abroad different.

Can I return the repair kit if I am not satisfied?

Yes, you can return the repair kit within 30 days without any problems. Just get in touch with us and we will help you.

How much distance is gained by installing the repair kit?

Fitting the repair kit creates a gap of approx. 5-10 mm between the trim and the wheel arch. This permanently prevents the sliding door from rubbing.

Is the repair kit also compatible with the VW T5.1 (built before 2009)?

No, the repair kit is not suitable for the VW T5.1 built before 2009. On these models, the central brackets were still present ex works, which is why the grinding of the trim must have a different cause.

Can I also buy the holders separately?

No, our repair kit is only available as a complete kit. This ensures that all components fit together perfectly and the problem is completely solved.

Does the kit also help if the fairing rubs against wider tires (e.g. 275s)?

Yes, by installing our repair kit you gain additional clearance of approx. 5-10 mm, which can also help with wider tires. This can reduce or completely prevent grinding.

Can I also have the repair kit fitted in a workshop?

Yes, many of our customers have already had our repair kit successfully installed in an independent workshop or even via the warranty processing of a licensed Volkswagen authorized workshop. Our solution is now known to Volkswagen and is accepted as a permanent repair measure.

How high are the shipping costs?

We offer free shipping and return shipping via DHL for all orders worldwide.
