Vanspeed Sprinter Rear D-Pillar Trim Kit

Vanspeed Sprinter Rear D-Pillar Trim Kit - The Ultimate Threshold Finish

At West Coast Vans, we know that wrapping fabric or cutting panels around the complex curves of the rear door frames is one of the most frustrating parts of a build. Eliminate exposed sheet metal and achieve a flawless, factory-finished rear threshold instantly with this precision-molded trim system. Ask Us Product Questions Anytime.

WCV EXPERT TIP: While this 3-piece kit can technically be installed after your walls are up, we highly recommend mounting it before installing your main wall and ceiling panels. Installing the trim first allows your finished paneling to slide right into the built-in flanged edges, completely hiding your raw cuts and saving you hours of frustrating custom scribing.
