You don't say weather your van is a semi high top or not, but if it is then they will fit.

ok

this is where i need to clear things up - mine is definatley not a high top as i can't stand up in the back

is there such a thing as a low top? :oops:

put it this way - there's about a foot of door above the windows on the rear doors no more.

Thanks

aaahh - was going off my bad memory - just been out for a look...

when i say a foot i mean more like 4-5cm just like the low top picture you uploaded.

so in answering my own question - no they won't fit.

It's amazing what you can learn if you get off you arse and have a look for yourself.

Thanks for prompting me.

Nice one, 4-5 cm sounds better.

best bet is try local free ads type papers!!

also rear doors arnt a mot failure - so long as theres no sharp edges and if there is put some duck tape over - just to get you through the test of course :lol:

If they have gone at the bottom there are panels available at about £12 each, I had mine done a few years ago.

I'm not sure where you would get them up your way Morag, apart from the Ford Stealer of course, I use European Motor Factors for panels but they only do local delivery as far as I know.
