This looks great but how do you fit it to the window?

Nice aluminium frame fits into the window frame.
Bag attached by 4 elastic bands.
Here it is before assembly - Lazy H shape frame.
Nice.
LWB - Maxi version from the Felleisen website

New front springs and shocks from Bilstein. Thought about it long and hard if I were to lower the van in process or not. But ultimately decided not to since flipping the rear axle might affect the loading and trailing capabilities and therefore future use.
Bilstein B4 shocks and springs fitted. Happy with the feeling of them. Slightly harder than before.
Had to change out a lot of the screws that were rusty and/or had to be cut or broke during removal.
New steering tie rods and sway bar tie rods fitted as well. Thought I did a good job fitting them, but not good enough since the car now pulls to the left. So, next up is a new wheel alignment.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Today I am changing the oil on my Caddy maxi.
I have done 5000 miles since my last change and after reading about the damage done to the DPF due to dirty oil I think this is a wise move.
Oil change every 5000 miles is the way to go for me.
Thanks.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Brakes are from SF tuning, had to settle for the macan calipers because of the need for massive spacers on the 18z calipers due to my concave wheels.
Not sure on the part number for the touran carpets, got them off eBay...
