definitely the easiest thing to do on my van so far has been the thinsulate and ez cool stuff

will do the doors but mine on the top are a solid smooth panel, not sure what i will do about the top part if anything
that is a question for my shop guy when he has time to look at it

but will definitely pull the panels and insulate the bottom part end of the week

My Van is MY TOY HAULER... I dont use it every day like alot of people do
I bought my van aug of last year I believe I have only put 134 miles on it since
I decided when I bought it I was going to do a theme back to the 70's style
I am achieving that.... when I show my van to people I always get a smile....
thats what I was achieving by me doing this to my van.... its not for everyone
but its what I wanted to do .... I insulated the entire ceiling with the 1 inch
hard stuff.... but under the head liner there isnt enough room for that I went with
the silver stuff you see in my pics.... I am not finished by any means with the
interior... we have been having some stupid weather here... lawn mowing
company shows up at work... today... cutting grass while its snowing out...
any ways... good luck with your insulating.. and if you have any questions
ask away.. we have many here willing to help ya.

No real problems but they were a pain in the *** to get off

The clips were tight and I scratched the van a little bit next to the clips trying to get them out, I would slide pair of long needle nose pliers in there and pinch them together

will be happy if I don’t have to take them off ever again

I understand that .. I didnt much care when I took mine off I knew they
were not going back on .....lol
with a little force mine popped off.... I honestly like
passenger van door panels much better...

I recently bought an '07 Chevy Express cargo van....but it doesn't have the inner door panels on the side or rear doors. Where can I buy them? I've tried ebay already....it's like talking to fence post.....there's gotta be a better way.....and a better place. Anyone know where you can buy the 4 panels I need?

I agree....I prefer passenger door panels too...but I'm cheap....I just want the door covered as cheap as possible.
