Please help with cargo floor issue

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by leadsled2020, Mar 20, 2013.

  1. I have been searching for the portion of cargo floor right inside the slider. Every picture of replacement floors that I have found on vendor's websites do not seem to have this section. Does anyone make it?
    I am talking about the piece that is directly above the lower slider track. I would call it the top part of the sill.
    Any help would be great!

  2. That looks like the other side to me. Maybe I am wrong, but that looks like the section that would go up against the solid panel.
    Does anybody have actual pictures of these sections instead of retailer stock pictures?

    Is it rotten through? It's as thick if not thicker than the chassis and unusual to totally rot out

  5. Alan schofield is the one place I haven't looked, I'm not able to access his website right now. It just wont load.
     
  6. Can you not get a body cut ?

    You can't get this bit. :( Body cut is the only way AFAIK. Very unusual to find it's not saveable...

  8. or as i said make it , its easy owen nw
     
  9. that looks liek surface rust. go at it with a flap disc before you buy anything.
     
  10. That is ridiculous! You can get every other part for this damn bus new!:mad: /rant

    But from your picture there is nothing wrong with it, looks surface rusty sure but nothing I can see to be bothered with . Get a wire wheel on it :)
     
  12. Thats exectly the same as the panel i have ready to go in my bus, so no that bit isn't part of the new half floor

    Looking at yours mate, that will repair easily with some new steel and a floor repair panel, a lot cheaper than buying a half floor
     
  13. The cargo floor is rotton but the top part of the slider channel looks to be just pitted with surface rust
    As others have said there very thick steel and its very rare to not be able to save them
     
  14. As i say, just take a flap disc to it and then get a pic. If you replace everybit of your bus that has that little rust on it... Youll be out of pocket.

    I think youll end up replacing the cargo floor, but that bit looks like it may only need a patch or two and a clean up
     
  15. Id clean up the cargo floor and see how bad it really is
    I preffer to patch them if possible as the ones available now are much thinner than the originals

    Get yourself a knotted wire brush on an angle grinder and a good hour or two stripping the floor back to bare steel will show you the extent of the damage
     
  16. Sounds good, Thanks for the advice!
     
  17. PROBLEM SOLVED!
    Gentlemen, after some careful searching, I have found the complete assembly.
    The VW NOS Part# is 211801672D
    If you google the # you will see that several places carry new ones!
