- This is how we did my van conversion doors, using stretch carpet, stained/dyed and varnished tongue and groove wood, and finished off with rubber trim to give it a really professional-looking finish.
I've done a video on how to join stretch carpet (only do it where you have to though) which you can find here - • How to neatly join 4-w...
Product list - these are the exact products used.

Hey everyone, lots of people keep asking for the link for the rubber trim - annoyingly it keeps jumping around different URLs on ebay, but I'll try to keep it up to date as much as I can. I've also started building a webpage for every single item I've used in the entire build, which you can check out here - vanventureswithjodie.notion.site/fdfef29580254c6892f2664151ff9011?v=8e6916db2b564504986000750703b072
Thank you so much, I did one door so far and I love it, i'm excited about he other two doors, I love your family your all brilliant, again hank you.
Those panels are mint! Thanks for content 👍
I tested silicone and cyanoacrylate on one of the cutouts from my windows.
No cleaning no sanding: Silicone peeled of rather easily, superglue left a thing film of rubber.
Cleaned panel: Silicone tore before the rubber, superglue same as before.
Cleaned and sanded surface: Silicone tore again before the rubber, superglue same as before.
Superglue every time, much easier and faster to apply.
I used black cyanoacrylate with rubber content from Amazon.
I love this idea & I'm going to have a go at it. Thank you 😊
Lovely video, really useful ideas and your Mum and Dad did a great job with your design. P.S. Your Mum is so elegant!
these look so good! being able to tuck. the carpet into the gasket makes it look so clean. such a great idea
First video of yours I’ve seen . Well made video and van looks very professionally done . I will blatantly and unashamedly copy this idea on my build 😁 . Thanks for including links to products used . Liked and subscribed 👍🏻
Thanks so much, absolutely copy it! We adapted it from several other vans we'd seen, just passing it on in a hopefully helpful way 😊. If you have any questions when you get to your doors feel free to get in touch
Great job! I love how your parents help you, their hands are beautiful, your mother looks like a teenager. You are a lucky girl. 😍
using the rubber v stuff is genius!
Excellent idea to use the rubber trim to finish off the carpets!
Thanks, it actually really helps keep the carpet dry as well, if you put it too close to the edges it becomes a sponge in the rain!
Patience level = Grand master 🤯
The funny thing is I'm not a patient person at all 😂. I think my parents are largely responsible for how these turned out
very impressed, great to have mum and dad helping, but you have done a great job with that carpeting.
They are the best parents! Thanks, we're all super proud of the doors, maybe more so than anything else we've done in the van (so far!)
I really like the clever idea of using the rubber trim round the doors.
The corner trim pieces was a brilliant idea.
These look great on the video and in real life (we saw them at Camp Quirky). In fact we're going to revert our part-done door coverings and copy your method. Thanks for posting in detail again.
Great job Jodie! Gave me some inspiration to change my door panels on my Promaster. Sunshine from Florida to you and yours!
Best looking doors ever! Brilliant skills and vision! Love how you all work together! My wife and I plan to do very much the same in our van. Great videography.
Thank you! It too a but of time but I think it was worth it for a nice clean finish 😊, good luck with your build!
Love your van build series Jodie......Don't suppose I could borrow your parents to help with mine!!! 😂😂
I need also she's parents 😂
Love all the effort you put in! Could you you please send a link for the ‘V trim’ you used? Thanks!
absolutely love the vantastic doors, with the neat trim it looks perfect. The window frame finishes it off very nice. Excellent work 😀
Looks absolutely amazing!! Well done!
Love the finish on the rear doors and around the window. I’m full time in my van and I need to finish them bits off :)
Feel free to nick any ideas 😉
Oh Jodie, I just love this video. I am stealing this idea. I am a pensioner & have been very poorly but now much better. I have bought a Transit & working on it to make a day van. I got a German Shepherd puppy who I am teaching to be our assistance dog & hopefully a PAT therapy dog & I have started a YT channel & going to have adventures in the van with her. Thanks so much, you are a star, really given me confidence 🥰😊💪👍🌟❤️
Hi, thanks so much for your lovely comment, and good luck with your build! It's a very rewarding project, if a lot of work! I started building my first van not even owning a tool box, let alone knowing how to do any of this, but there's so many resources out there to learn from now, and I've absolutely loved learning all this new stuff to build my dream van ❤️
@@vanventureswithjodie You have motivated me thank you ❤️🥰🥳🤩👍😊
Good luck with the van build, such an exciting journey and all the best once you're on the road! 👍
This is fantastic - saw that material a while back... looks great!
Wonderful informative video with no nonsense ❤️ beautiful job
New to your channel. This is amazing. This is the detail that makes the interior look like a pro build. Very cool!
That's such a lovely comment, thanks so much! 😊
Brilliant job, looks absolutely outstanding 👍🏻
Thank you so much 😊
Well done, it looks great, will do it the same way!
Excellent video given me some good ideas to follow thank you
You give u good ideas ❤thanks ,nice video
Really smart, great attention to detail again. 👍
Thanks so much, I'm so happy with the final result :D
I have just started doing my rear doors and didn't use that trim. It looks quite rough when the doors are open. I will definitely be ordering that trim. Thanks for the idea. If you want to cut that hole for the door release just drill an largish hole and use a trim router to follow the metal edge. You van looks really good. I also used those brass cups as I think they look cool on the wood areas.
Looks great I think Im going to copy this for my van too :)
Thanks Niall, go for it! I've put some links in the description of the exact products we used too, if that helps 😊
@@vanventureswithjodie that will be a great help thank you :)
Very nice video 👍👍☕💯💯
Thank you 😊
Looks great! I'm going to do much the same, thanks
Thank you, it definitely took some time but wasn't too difficult, if you want to see what we used I popped the links in the description. Good luck!
@@vanventureswithjodie I just need some keen helpers like your lovely mom and dad😄
Hi looking really good. Can I ask what screws you used to fix t&g.
Wow that look's so good! Very impressive. Do you have a link for the rubber from Ebay. Hope to hear from you
Hi! It's moved to a new listing but it's this one - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335237523002
Great job with the doors. I’ve done something very similar thanks to you. Just out of curiosity, What type of plastic bag did you use to hold the insulation.
Heya, glad the video was helpful! The bags aren't real bags, I just used plastic sheeting folded and taped into pillows
Great job !!! Could you please share the size of the seal - gap, thickness, width. Thank you.
P.s. the link doesn't work any more, as the product is not available on eBay at the moment.
Thank you! 😊 Search for U shaped rubber trim and you should find it, the one I have is about 10mm wide and 3mm thick over the fold, at a guess. You want one where the two ends of the "U" are closed together so it sits flush.
Please were can i buy the rubber trim thanks
Really nice job well done you and mum and dad of corse👍
Don't think you needed to put your plastic bags on your insulation because it's made from plastic bottles so won't retain water
Thanks Andy! You're probably right, but it gives the water less surface area to cling to at least 😅. I'm definitely over cautious with things I'm not 100% sure about
That looks great. I's just wandering what happens to the bare metal areas where you put only the carpet? There's no insulation there therefore these are going to be the coldest places. Won't you have problems with condensation in these areas and won't these become areas where mold can develop?
Heya, I used the carpet pretty heavily in my last (smaller) van and had no problems at all. Because the surface texture has changed from metal to fabric the water doesn't condensate on it because its no longer a cold surface. Never did the carpet feel damp or even cold. As long as you're using it in combination with good ventilation it's a brilliant solution to cover the metal.
Love how neat the rubber trim makes it.Can i ask what its actually called as the ebay link you have is now finished and id like to get the same rubber edging thanks.
Thank you! 😊 Search for U shaped rubber trim and you should find it, the one I have is about 10mm wide. You want one where the two ends of the "U" are closed together so it sits flush.
Where did you get the trim from?
Have u got a link to the trim u stuck round the door that u tuck the carpet in?!
There's links to everything used in the description but the trim is currently out of stock from the place I bought it - this looks lime the same stuff though www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384701489481?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=11b_9xn4qd-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=esStfCNnTXS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
In retorspect, would you could you glut the carpet first then the trim after? seems like it would be easier that way, no?
If I did it again I'd do it the same way, I think doing the carpet first would be more complicated
how is the super glue and the rubber trim holding up? Just looking for a good way to finish my door carpeting.
Hi Will, still absolutely solid. If I had to do doors again I'd do them the same way 👍
What kind of screws that you used to attach the boards?
Heya, I think they are hinge screws, but we just found brass screws that were the right size for the cups and the depth of the wood
Hi. Do you have a link to the v trim please
Hiya, I've linked everything I used in the description
This is a beautiful finish. But I'd like to know how / what you are screwing the panels into? I can't see any wood glued to the metal of the van to screw into. Are you screwing into the metal of the van? I've learnt that's a big no no has condensation / moisture does get inside. And I know this for a fact has I just brought a van and they did this. I am in the middle of giving it a big upgrade and after taking all the panels off. There is rust everywhere. This is why now the back doors don't work with the key has all the insulation and panels have trapped the air / moisture in there. The lock is rusted to hell.
Hiya, if you go to about 7 minutes in you can see the frames that are glued in to the top sections, the bottom panels are screwed into the metal work. Condensation is a ventilation issue, so far I've had zero condensation
