Trim & Upholstery Details on a SPRINTER VAN BUILD - Doors, Windows, Pillars | Van Build Series
One thing a lot of people have been asking me about in this van build is how I finished off a lot of the trim work and upholstery details to make that 'finished' look. These are areas that a lot of DIY van builders aren't quite sure how to finish, and many professional van upfitters have mastered.
In this episode I go over the trim work I did around:
- The headliner
- The crew window
- The sliding door
- And the rear doors
These little details may seem minor to some, but if you're looking for that "professional" finish in your van build, these are some van build ideas you may want to consider.
