Tools & Materials Needed

Before starting, gather the following tools:

  • Cordless drill
  • Torx screwdriver
  • Grease pencil or marker
  • Plastic trim removal tool
  • Razor blade or utility knife
  • 1/4-inch drill bit (if additional holes are needed)
  • Legend DuraTherm Door Liner Kit (includes panels and hardware)

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Van for Installation

  • If your Ford Transit has factory door panels, remove them using a trim removal tool.
  • Clean the door surface to ensure proper adhesion and alignment.
  • If you have Legend SecuriLock cargo van locks, plan for any necessary cutouts before installation.

2. Install the Lower Door Panel

  • Position the lower door liner on the side sliding door.
  • Ensure all push-in clips align with the pre-drilled factory holes.
  • If the liner has cutouts for door hardware, confirm they align properly before securing.
  • Press the push-in clips firmly to lock the liner in place.

3. Install the Upper Door Panel

  • Align the upper door liner with the top section of the sliding door.
  • Since the upper panel does not have factory mounting holes, it will be secured with self-threading screws.
  • Use a drill or screwdriver to attach the self-threading screws, starting in the center and working outward for an even fit.

4. Accommodate the Door Handle & Lock

  • If your Ford Transit has aftermarket security locks, carefully measure and cut a small hole in the liner for access.
  • If necessary, expand existing cutouts for the factory door handle or unlock mechanism.
  • Test the door function to ensure the liner does not interfere with operation.

5. Install the Rear Door Liners (Optional)

  • If installing on the rear cargo doors, align the left and right panels to their respective doors.
  • Secure each panel using self-threading screws, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  • If your rear doors have glass, you may choose not to install these liners to avoid obstructing visibility.
