Today we are getting the T5 to T6 tailgate done, I m a big fan of the later look and super pumped to get it done. I’m unsure weather it’s a direct fit or not but we are going to find out.

Did t6 tailgate conversion on my t5, which was previously a barn door model, did this 4 years ago and paid 360 plus 50 carriage for the Tailgate and was really smashed in, required a lot of repair work. One of the best things I did; love having shelter from the rain and a clothes airer when we are camping in Cornwall 👌

I did see one the other day where they’d only painted the two tone up to the quarter panels under the lights and kept the tailgate one colour. Didn’t look too bad to be fair. Anyway keep up the good work, can’t wait to see this getting the paint on 👌👌

So apparently some of the parts can be used from the t5. I was told the hinges are unique to the T6 but apparently the ones from the t5 can be used. There is a donor t5 which had a tailgate earilier (it is gone now) but still has the wiring loom for it, the hinges and a couple of other bits, hopefully all will fit the T6 door I have. Also the tail lights I have are different, they have a plug that has 2 rows of pins instead of one row of six whilst at first sight they look exactly the same. I'll have to have some research if there are different lights for the tailgate T6 which would not make any sense whatsoever.

Barn to tailgate on the Caddy is more straightforward -having looked closely at both, all the fittings are already in place. Get it done and make a vid so it's easier for me! Also, you'll be putting a reverse camera VW logo on the rear of both, won't you? I'd paint to the swage line. Not a fan of 2 tone but it's your van.

Hi mate, cracking video as always. I commented on your last video regarding the old T5 tailgate. Have you been able to decide what you are going to do with it yet?

Hey Richard thank you sir 👍 yes I remember, so it is up for grabs but my only concern is that you would be disappointed with it as up close it does have a fair few dents and marks.
