    Has anyone bought a tailgate standoff bracket recently , the type to allow the tailgate to be slightly ajar but locked.

    ive just bought one from heritage but couldn’t see how it works ... it never would - it’s for a T5 :rolleyes:

    Struggling to find anywhere that sells them for a T2 though

    Oh! I thought you had had a Mexican standoff with someone over a tailgate! :oops:

  4. Erm sorry if you may think I’m being a bit funny
    But be careful if you do drive with your tailgate
    Not fully closed , it can suck exhaust fumes into your van , especially if you don’t run a standard exhaust :thinking:

    I don’t intend to drive with it , more at night when kipping , allows some airflow without my pillows dropping out the back
     
  8. Looks like this, worked a treat at TE so it wasn't a full oven in the mornings!! [​IMG]

    Cool, thank you
     

  11. No I understand why the need :)
    I just wanted to say that I used to run a Beetle exhaust because I don’t like the gurgling sound of a stock exhaust,
    And if The tailgate was not closed properly the exhaust fumes would be sucked into the van,
    It does happen ,

    I have no Agenda I was just saying to be careful :)
