More 5.1 vs 6.1 Questions...

[Lost Boy]

Does anyone know if the Vanorak for the 5.1 also fits the 6.1?

Also, the old front window blind for the 5.1 with the flexi tent poles, anyone know if that fits the 6.1 front windscreen, the built in blinds look deeply unimpressive for the windscreen.

Thanks

The 5.1 had a weighted curtain that hangs from the sunshades and rear view mirror . No poles.

 

[Lost Boy]

Mine, definitely had the poles for the windscreen and the twisty ones for the front side windows. Was a 2012 MY.

Mine has the slide out roller blinds left and right on the front windscreen.

 

[Lost Boy]

Yes but does anyone know if the front screens are the same size?

 

[TripleBee]

Yes.

Apart from some cosmetic touches (front bumper, rear bootlid), the base vehicle is the same as the first T5 from 2003.

 

[Lost Boy]

Awesome, thanks so much.

I think the rear view mirror is different on the 6.1 due to the sensors in the housing. That may affect the fit of the blind.

Not sure about internal screen covers but external T5/5.1 covers won't fit a T6/6.1
Can confirm from experience and speaking to Campervanbits.com

Thanks the screen normally goes in front of the mirror but thanks for the information

Thats because the door mirrors moved position.

Correct. And I don't think that is a good move, because I find them too low now.
