Our T3 Multivan's (Vanagon) aluminum door sill trim was gone - so we made a plastic replica from scratch
The original VW T3 Multivan came with an aluminum sliding door threshold trim - but finding a decent replacement is nearly impossible at this point. Most are cracked, worn out, or just missing entirely.
So we reverse-engineered it and made our own version in CAD. The replica is made from 4mm ABS plastic - it follows the exact shape of the original aluminum piece and fits T3 models with a raised floor (the ones with a step). Snaps right into place, no modifications needed.
Obviously it's not metal, but ABS handles daily wear surprisingly well - resistant to moisture, temperature changes, and the constant friction from shoe soles. And it makes the doorway look clean and finished again.
Happy to answer questions.
