What Else You May Need
Fitting involves drilling, so check that you have the tools and fixing arrangement needed for installation. The product also refers to an instruction document and install video, so following the fitting guidance is important.
Before You Decide
Check that your van is a Ford Transit Custom and confirm whether the door has already been drilled if that affects your installation. Review the included template and fitting guidance before choosing an offer.
