Please note: these are for UK right hand drive vehicles as the shells are not the same thickness on each side. The thicker side is approximately 120mm deep and will not allow the side loading door to pass it if used on a left hand drive vehicle.

You will need to key both surfaces and bond with a polyurethane adhesive to fix the shells to the van.

Please note the window has now changed to an aluminium

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH FITTING.

Space Pod Fitting Instructions                                           

• Check Fit Before Permanent Changes:
• Ensure the Space Pod fits properly before gluing, painting, or sanding. Return the pod in its original box for a full refund if unsatisfied. No refunds will be given if the pod is glued, painted, or wrapped.
• Preparation:
  • If painting, avoid low baking or heating the pod to prevent distortion. ( Do not cure in direct sunlight )
  • When wrapping, be cautious not to overheat the GRP to prevent hard bubbles forming later.
  • Ideally, paint the pods after fitting.
• Surface Keying:
  • Key the surface of the van with wet and dry and the Space Pod with 120 grit sandpaper.
  • Sand down any high points on the Space Pod back surface.
  • Do not use etching primer paint on the Space Pod; use only sandpaper for keying where adhesive will be in contact.
• Adhesive Application:
  • Apply polyurethane adhesive to the van in a constant bead around the sides and top of the pod to prevent leaks.
  • Cut a “V” shape in the nozzle for a higher adhesive bead.
  • Use 1.5 tubes of Sikaflex 252 or similar adhesive per Space Pod.
• Bonding Process:
  • Bond the pod in place; use masking tape and wedges to help hold the position.
  • Place a ratchet strap or similiar around the van body and the Space Pod to apply light pressure.
  • Use foam blocks under the straps in specific places to push the Space Pod if necessary.
• Adhesive Cleanup:
  • Clean off any excess adhesive before it sets; tar and oil remover works well.
• Final Touch:
  • Once bonded, apply a bead of adhesive along the front edge of the pod to finish.
