Removing/Adjusting Ceiling Cross Bars

Removing/Adjusting Ceiling Cross Bars

Article Objective:

To discuss and outline the removal or adjusting the placement of the ceiling crossbars. 


Affected Units:

Any DO or LIV Model Vandoit van


Issue Explanation:

The ceiling extrusion consists of two bars that run front to back in the van as well as crossbars. The two bars running front to back are bolted into the chassis and are weight supporting. The cross bars are not and can be adjusted/removed. However, we do not recommend removing all crossbars at the same time, as they contribute to the overall skeletal structure of your van.



Resolution:


Tools needed:

6mm allen wrench (ball-end allen wrench is recommended because of the angle of insertion - Ball-End Allen Wrench


1. Remove the 2 bolts on each end of the cross bar. Total of 4 bolts should be removed. 
2. If you are removing the bar, remove it at this time. 
3. If you are adjusting the cross bar, move the turn ins to preferred location and bolt the cross bar in. 

If the resolution steps above do not provide the direction you are seeking, please contact the Customer Support team by submitting a ticket through the Customer Support portal or emailing support@vandoit.com.
