To stop small items being lost in the gap between the dash and the windscreen.What is the purpose of the seal fir windscreen/ dashboard please
This seems like a completely logical update, my only concern is why is the gap there is the first place - is it for ventilation or something?To stop small items being lost in the gap between the dash and the windscreen.

Its designed to be a black hole, or maybe it’s for condensation to runaway down.IMO
The windscreen is fitted after the dash,
there needs to be a gap to allow for manufacturing tolerances
ventilation is from purpose designed slots that are not associated with the gap.
the gap serves no useful or intended purpose.
MIND THE GAP !
I’ve spent many hours pondering this subject, and haven’t been able to work out the gap’s purpose.
My front internal screen blind has a soft roll along the bottom edge that tucks perfectly into the gap. Thus it is kept taught and prevented from sagging. As far as I am aware, the blind is a VW original, so maybe it's by design?the gap serves no useful or intended purpose.

Agree. I am sure if you look at any standard Transporter van it will be exactly the same.Yes- it does have that purpose, but I struggle to believe they design the gap around the curtain not the curtain around the gap if you understand what I mean.
Very nice indeed @GrumpyGranddad. That’s the nicest I have seen. Was it easy to fit?Well @GrahamB , the splitter is now fitted.
