Connect Crew Van

Postby PTC Sameday » Sun Jan 06, 2013 2:32 pm

Hello. I'm a s/e courier and have just downgraded to an ex-police Connect Crew Van with 3 factory fitted Tourneo seats in a 60/40 split behind the diver. There is no lining at all apart from the roof header that extends over the rear seats so it can get a bit noisy. A bulkhead is out of the question and full ply lining too because of the rear seats.

I was wondering if anyone has/had one of these and can offer any advice?

Thanks KJ, never seen that stuff before but it looks perfect for my needs. I knew it was just a matter of time before someone came up with the answer!

When it's done I'll post a picture of it here.

The crew connect I have has the moveable bulk head cage which seems to keep noise down and is great for security. I fitted the grille after a 'git' broke into the back of my van and stole three grands worth of kit. Not thought of carpet for rear and guess it would be great to save bumps and scratches

I've thought about the cage b/head for security but didn't imagine it would cut the noise down much. Not only that but the headlining in my crew van goes right back over the rear seats so it might not fit unless I butcher it

Most of the noise comes from the floor. I took both seats out of mine and added more soundproofing then lifted the wood floor and soundproofed that. I also removed both door cards and did those too. Made a big difference. Havnt added any to the sides or roof but my van has the plastic side panels in the cargo area so covered those with acustic stretch covering.
