Protecting your van’s interior is one of the smartest long-term investments you can make. That’s why installing DuraTherm Wall Liners for the Ford Transit Connect LWB are high on our list of must-have upgrades. In this post, we’ll guide you through the full installation process—from prep to finish—and show you how these liners add durable insulation, reduce noise, and give your long-wheelbase Transit Connect a clean, professional look.

Why Installing DuraTherm Wall Liners in Ford Transit Connect LWB Matters

Firstly, factory metal walls scuff and dent easily. Moreover, bare panels let noise and heat into the cargo area. Therefore, fitting DuraTherm wall panels delivers:

  • Thermal Insulation: Keeps cargo and cabin temperatures stable.
  • Acoustic Dampening: Cuts road noise by up to 50%.
  • Non-Slip Surface: Protects panels from damage and scuffs.
  • Precision Fit: Tailored for dual-sliding LWB models.

Consequently, you preserve resale value and improve driver comfort.

Tools & Materials for Installing DuraTherm Wall Liners in Ford Transit Connect LWB

Before you begin Installing DuraTherm Wall Liners in Ford Transit Connect LWB, assemble:

  • Trim removal tools to pop out factory panels
  • Sharp razor blade for scoring cut lines
  • Rubber mallet to seat liners firmly
  • Legend installer kit (included screws & clips)

Furthermore, have safety glasses and work gloves on hand to avoid injury.

Preparing Your Transit Connect LWB for Wall Liner Installation

First, clear out all cargo and remove factory panels:

  1. Remove plastic trim panels over wheel wells.
  2. Pull off factory jack panel if equipped.
  3. Disconnect 12V outlet behind trim on passenger side.

Next, clean any dust or grease with a mild degreaser. Meanwhile, inspect for rust or damage—address issues before lining.

Step-by-Step: Installing DuraTherm Wall Liners in Ford Transit Connect LWB

  1. Test Fit the Panels
    • Hold each liner in place.
    • Note areas needing trim around modules.
  2. Score & Trim
    • Use a razor blade on pre-scored lines.
    • Trim sections for jack access and outlets.
  3. Insert Clips
    • Align liner with factory holes.
    • Push in supplied Christmas-tree fasteners.
  4. Seat the Liner
    • Tap edges with a rubber mallet.
    • Ensure flush fit against trim.
  5. Reinstall Panels
    • Snap factory trim back into place.
    • Reconnect the jack and outlet covers.

Afterwards, verify each panel resists movement under firm pressure.

Tips for Trimming and Precision Fitting

While installing DuraTherm Wall Liners in Ford Transit Connect LWB, remember:

  • Cut only scored lines to avoid uneven edges.
  • Trim incrementally, then test-fit again.
  • Use a scrap board under the liner during cuts.
  • Protect wiring harnesses by scoring liner, not pulling on wires.

Additionally, keep extra fasteners on hand in case any break.

Securing and Finishing Up

Once all liners are in place:

  • Tighten any loose clips with a mallet.
  • Check light cutouts for factory dome lights.
  • Run your hand along seams to spot gaps.

Finally, step back and inspect the overall finish. Your cargo area should feel quieter and look fully protected.

Maintaining Your DuraTherm Wall Liners

To extend liner life:

  • Wipe down liners with mild cleaner every few months.
