Before we ever recommend a product, we put it to the test. While Upfit Supply doesn’t manufacture vehicle components, we stand behind every item we offer—evaluating each one for durability, performance, and overall value. In this overview, we’re taking a closer look at the Legend DuraTherm Door Liners, installed on our 2016 Ford Transit Connect Long Wheelbase (LWB) with a rear liftgate, to see how they stack up in real-world use.

These liners do more than just improve appearance—they’re designed to protect your van’s interior from impact, reduce noise, and enhance thermal control. You can check out the full review in our YouTube video, or head directly to the product page to learn more.

Key Features of Legend DuraTherm Door Liners

We were immediately impressed by the smart design and rugged build of the Legend DuraTherm Door Liners. These panels are specifically engineered for the Ford Transit Connect LWB, making installation seamless and reliable. Here’s what stood out to us:

– Dual-Layer Construction: Each panel combines a durable plastic face with an inner foam insulation barrier, protecting against both physical damage and temperature swings.

– Noise and Thermal Insulation: The internal foam not only reduces road noise but also helps regulate the van’s interior temperature—ideal for all seasons.

– Professional Appearance: We chose the textured gray finish, which offers a sleek, modern look that instantly upgraded the van’s interior. White is also available.

– Protects from Cargo Damage: These liners shield the doors from dents, scratches, and wear caused by shifting tools and equipment.

– Precision Cut for Rear Liftgate: Designed for Transit Connects with liftgate-style rear doors, these panels fit like a glove and require no trimming.

– Reliable Fastening System: The liners are secured using a combination of push-button rivets and self-tapping screws, which are all included for convenience.

Installation Experience: Legend DuraTherm Door Liners in the Ford Transit Connect

We installed the DuraTherm Door Liners in under 30 minutes with just a few basic tools. Here’s a breakdown of what the process looked like in our shop:

Tools Needed:

– Cordless drill

– Push rivet tool (optional, but helpful)

– Self-tapping screw bit or driver

Installation Steps:

Step 1: Begin with the lower door panels. Align them to the factory-marked holes on the rear liftgate.

Step 2: Secure the lower panels using the included push-button rivets. These fasten tightly with minimal effort.

Step 3: Next, align the upper panels. These require self-tapping screws, which are drilled into pre-marked areas for a secure hold.

Step 4: Double-check alignment. Make sure the panels are seated correctly against the door’s contours.

Step 5: Finish by pressing the panels firmly into place and confirming that all fasteners are secure.

This kit is designed for DIY-level installs with minimal customization required. Everything you need is included in the box.

Performance and Everyday Benefits

Since installing the Legend DuraTherm Door Liners in our 2016 Ford Transit Connect LWB, we’ve seen noticeable improvements in several areas:

– Durability: The hard outer surface is highly resistant to wear. Even after moving equipment in and out daily, our doors still look clean and scratch-free.

– Reduced Noise: One of the biggest perks is how much quieter the van is. The foam insulation cuts down on rattles and road noise—a major bonus for city driving.

– Thermal Efficiency: The foam backing provides a thermal break, making the interior more comfortable whether you’re parked in the sun or driving through winter weather.

– Visual Appeal: The sleek, contoured panels give the van a professional, finished interior—ideal for anyone who wants to present a polished look to clients.
