Help with missing bed bracket case please

[AGuest]

Hi, we have a 2011 T5 SE CALIFORNIA - we are missing the plastic casing that goes over the lower bed metal bracket fitting for the lower bed. Really struggling to get one and we can't use the downstairs bed without it.

Any ideas please

Do you have a picture of the place you are missing the trim

 

[AGuest]

It's the bit circled in yellow

And on the driver side so exactly the same as the photo. Thanks

That plastic cover doesn't hold the rear board, its purely for
aesthetics.
Can't see why you can't use the bed, unless the metal bracket is missing too.

The metal is there but wouldn't stay in place without the plastic, kept slipping down and falling onto the boot floor

I'm sure that the plastic cover has no holding effect.

Are you positioning it correctly?

Thanks, that part is too small, it's a slightly bigger part

I'll give it another go tomorrow

As others have said, the plastic bit is purely a bit of trim, if the bed won't stay up there's something else wrong.
Our first van did 6 years with the plastic bit missing, once its been knocked off the tabs never grip properly again.

Part 22! Yes!!

same price

Lol,
if I'd have seen that ' others ' had given the same opinion I wouldn't have bothered posting.
Who are the 'others' ?

You and Me for two.

Do you lock frame in position at rear end?

I politely disagree. One person's opinion (although right in this case) may not always persuade. Especially since there might be contrasting opinions on a thread. But if 27 people on the forum are saying the same thing, you'd better listen ;-)

I was referring to you & Welshgas - the OP seemed to be ignoring what you & Welshgas are saying. I was just reiterating what you had said. I still don’t think he is listening!

That plastic trim is exactly that, a trim piece, not structural. Mine has been in a box in the garage for the last 3 years.

If the bed is falling out then it might be because it is missing the rubber cups on the hinge end of the bed board. They wear out and fall off. If both were missing that might make that end 'narrow' enough to allow it to fall out.
You can buy replacements. I have just replaced mine with a segment of washing machine cold water fill hose which is about the right internal and external diameter.

Is the van new to you? 2011 I think the bed board is solid rather than the grill. Is it straight or could it be warped/bent from e.g. water damage. If slightly warped it might lift the hinge nearest the seat when laid flat allowing it to fall out?

? I'm not ignoring what's been said, I simply said that it didn't appear to work without the trim and I'd try again

Hi, I’m trying to find this part to buy. Any chance you know the actual part code please or where to find it? - I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Part 22, the casing.
