When it comes to protecting and upgrading your work van, quality and reliability are non-negotiable. In this overview, we’re taking a close look at the Legend DuraTherm Ceiling Liners installed in our 2016 Ford Transit Connect Long Wheelbase (LWB). From standout features to performance benefits, we’ll walk through what sets this ceiling liner apart—and share our hands-on experience with the installation process.

While we don’t manufacture these products, we proudly sell them because they meet our high standards for durability, function, and design. From temperature control to reducing road noise, these Legend DuraTherm Ceiling Liners play a key role in keeping your van Work Ready.

What Are Legend DuraTherm Ceiling Liners?

Legend DuraTherm Ceiling Liners are custom-fit panels made to cover the interior roof of your cargo van. They provide interior protection, thermal insulation, and noise reduction, all while enhancing the finished look of your vehicle.

Let’s walk through the standout features of this product:

– Durable 0.4-Inch Construction: Built with a rugged plastic face backed by a layer of foil-faced insulation.

– R-Value of 4–6: Offers effective thermal resistance, helping manage cargo area temperature.

– Noise Dampening Properties: The multilayer build significantly reduces road and vibration noise.

– Custom Fit for Ford Transit Connect LWB: Designed specifically for long wheelbase models for a snug, finished appearance.

– Optional Aluminum Ceiling Sills: Adds a polished transition between walls and ceiling using diamond plate aluminum sills.

Available Finishes: Choose from textured gray or flat white to match your van’s aesthetic.

These liners are a smart choice if you want to upgrade beyond basic sheet metal and gain additional benefits while doing so.

Installation Experience: Legend DuraTherm Ceiling Liners

We installed the Legend DuraTherm Ceiling Liners in our own 2016 Ford Transit Connect LWB, and the process was both simple and efficient. If you’re considering doing this install yourself or just want to know what’s involved, here’s a breakdown.

Tools Needed:

– Push pin plastic clips (included)

– Self-threading screws (included if using aluminum sills)

– Basic screwdrivers or power drill

Installation Process:

1: Slide the front edge of the liner under the existing headliner.

2: Line up the midsection to the center cross member.

3: Insert four push pin clips to secure the center of the liner.

4: Move to the rear and attach with five additional push pins.

Optional Step: If you’re using the aluminum ceiling sills, fasten them with the provided self-threading screws along the ceiling-to-wall transition.

The whole process takes under an hour and provides an instant upgrade to both form and function inside the van.

Insulation & Temperature Control

One of the key benefits of this product is interior climate control. With R-values ranging from 4 to 6, these liners help keep the cargo area cooler in summer and warmer in winter. We noticed the difference almost immediately.

Additionally, there’s space above the liner where you can add extra insulation, especially in larger cavities near the ceiling supports. This makes the setup even more flexible if you’re operating in extreme climates or transporting temperature-sensitive equipment.

Noise Reduction with Legend DuraTherm Ceiling Liners

Another feature we appreciate is the substantial noise reduction. With the plastic-insulation combo, these ceiling liners absorb vibration and road noise much better than exposed sheet metal. The result is a quieter ride, which can be a game-changer if you’re in your van all day.

If you’re a contractor who takes calls from the cab or drives between multiple job sites, this extra quiet makes a noticeable impact.

Added Protection and Longevity for Your Van

Many cargo vans ship with nothing protecting the roof’s interior. That means every time a tool or ladder bumps upward, it could cause:

– Dents in the metal

– Paint chipping

– Rust over time

By installing a Legend DuraTherm Ceiling Liner, you add a protective layer that absorbs that impact. This helps extend the life of your van and maintain its resale value.

Visual Appeal and Finish Options


Beyond protection and insulation, we also love how these ceiling liners enhance the overall look of the cargo area.

You can choose from:

– Textured Gray Finish – A rugged, industrial look that hides scuffs and wear.

– Flat White Finish – Offers a clean, bright look and reflects light throughout the space.

We went with textured gray to match our other Legend Fleet Solutions components, and the result is a cohesive, polished interior.

This liner is compatible with:

– 2014–2021 Ford Transit Connect LWB

– Vans with or without ceiling sills

The liner includes all required hardware and works great as part of a full Legend Liner Package.

– Complete Legend Liner Package for Transit Connect
