VW ID BUZZ CARGO
iNSTALL PREP INFO
before you arrive
Prior to your install here at the farm, we want to make sure you have all the information available to complete the nessecary prep work. ​Please read through all the info below and if you have any questions please drop us an email.
​We've split it up into sections depending on what extent of works your van is being treated to.​ Please take the time to read through the below install prep for your specific van.
​As a general rule of thumb we recommend sound deadening, insulation, then carpet work last. this ensures best coverage and prep of all stages.
​
After you have completed this prep work we ask for some photos of your van so we can brief the installers prior to your arrival on exactly what to expect.
​If your van isn't quite ready please send images anyway with a follow up email stating what works are going to be carried our prior to your arrival at the farm.

floor
If you're having a floor installed by us, please leave the factory floor as it is.
We need access to the standard D-Ring load points, which we use to secure your floor. Therefore, please ensure the D-Rings remain in place and in their original factory condition.
The only information we require about the floor of your ID Buzz Cargo is whether it has barn doors or a tailgate, as these have different flooring profiles.
roof
If you are having a ceiling installed by us, please read the following:
​
To create a clean finish, we recommend extending your carpet work 150mm to 200mm from where the walls meet the ceiling.
​
Sound Deadening and Insulation:
We mount our ceiling panels directly to the rib structures of your van’s roof. All areas between these ribs can be sound-deadened and insulated. However, your ceiling will sit at the lower level of the ribs, so avoid packing excess insulation into these areas. While not essential, you may want to carpet over the ribs for a neater finish.
​
Front Section (Cab Headliner):
At the front, where the roof meets your cab headliner, please ensure the metal rib work is carpeted in the same finish as the walls.
​
Wiring for Lights:
If you are installing wiring for us to connect your new lights, please leave a long tail at the front of the ceiling and route the cables down through the pillar plastic. Alternatively, if we are utilizing a power pack, such as an EcoFlow, we will handle the wiring for this.
​
Examples and Guidance:
See our image examples for the ideal amount of prep work, as well as examples of installed ceilings. These images will show you which areas will remain exposed and how to achieve the best finish.

walls
If you are getting our walls fitted, please read this section about the prep work required before you arrive at the farm:
​
Sound Deadening and Insulation:
Sound deadening can be applied to all areas of the van’s outer skin. Insulation should be placed in the open areas that will sit beneath our wall panels.
Our walls are fitted to the rib structure of the van, so please avoid over-packing these inner areas. Do not insulate over the inner faces of the ribs—carpeting these areas is fine, but insulation is not.
​
Carpet:
There are areas of the walls that will remain visible after our panels are fitted, and these should be carpeted. These areas include:
-
B-pillars
-
C-pillars
-
Rear light cluster uprights
-
Rear crossbeam above the rear doors
-
The wheel arches (generally covered by furniture, so carpeting is optional)
For the sliding door, our panels are inset-style, meaning the outer shell of the door will remain visible. Most customers choose to sound deaden and insulate these areas without adding carpet.
For tailgates and barn doors, we recommend sound deadening and insulation only—no carpet is required here.
​
Examples and Guidance:
Check out our image examples for the ideal prep work, as well as photos of vans fitted with our walls. These will help you see which areas are left exposed at the edges and how to achieve a tidy finish.
