For the metal trim at the back door, what did you use to allow the trim to follow the curve of the back floor?

Thank you very much for the instructions. Great idea. I will try for my Toyota Hiace soon.
May i have one question ?
I don’t understand why you trace from the vehicle step to cut the wood ? Not possible to trace
from the original carpet ?

Please kindly let me know.

this is the letters below the photo of your instructions.
At first we thought we weren’t going to use the stock trim pieces so we needed to get the plywood as close to the metal floor edge as possible. In the end this didn’t matter as we had to cut more off to make room for the stock trim pieces.

In reply to Matt. Do you have a link to where you purchased the vinyl flooring?

In reply to Steve McElwee. Plywood and vinyl is under the door trim pieces.

You do not go into detail about how you trimmed and fit your floor under (or over) the door trim pieces for slider and back doors. Does the trim go over the plywood and the vinyl? Or does the vinyl and plywood go over the trim? What was your sequence in finishing those areas up?

In reply to Jason Carroll. Plenty warm for us but we stay away from real cold weather. The coldest we have been is probably 10F outside. Inside we had a small electric heater running.

Sweet little write-up!
How’s it been warmth wise? The coldest you’ve been in? I was thinking of using polystyrene foamboard but if this is plenty warm then I might use that to save height.
Thanks!

In reply to Sam. I'm not sure on the exact length. The vinyl was trimmed to fit under the plastic trim piece at the back of the van.

Great looking floor! What is the length of the floor in the 148” transit? Did you use the full length of the 12’ piece of vinyl or did it need to be trimmed a little shorter? Thanks!
