Whether you use your van for leisure or work, safeguarding it from the elements is crucial to maintaining its condition and making sure you can enjoy it for years to come. We’ve been part of the VW community since 1989, which is why we’ve developed this JK van cover designed specifically for the VW T4, T5, and T6. This quick guide will take you through the steps to follow when fitting your JK vehicle cover, to make sure it goes on correctly and will protect your vehicle as best it can. Step One: Identifying the front We’ve worked hard to make sure our vehicle covers are as user-friendly as possible. There’s a small JK label which will help you identify the front end when you’re laying your vehicle cover out.  If you’ve got one of our luxury vehicle covers, you’ll also have access points to the cab doors and sliding door(s), which will also help you identify which end is which. Step Two: Placing the cover over your Transporter Now that you’ve correctly identified the front of your vehicle cover, you’ll need to pull one side over the top of your van and then secure it into place by tucking the elasticated edge underneath the bumper at the front and rear. Now move over to the other side of the vehicle and tuck the elasticated edges under the front and rear bumper on this side, too. Step Three: Securing the cover in place You’ll no doubt have noticed that there’s a long strap with a buckle sewn into it, which forms part of your vehicle cover. It might take a couple of attempts, but you’ll need to throw this under your vehicle, from one side to the other, so you can then clip it into place and then tighten it the strap up. This will help keep your vehicle cover in place during wind or other wintry weather! And that’s it! You’ve now fitted your JK vehicle cover to your VW, and it’s ready to withstand the elements. About our JK Vehicle Covers – Accessibility Features: It’s important to keep airing out the inside of your camper during the winter, to stop moisture from building up inside. That’s why our van covers are equipped with access points for doors on both sides. Top and bottom straps allow you to tie the doors up, providing access to your sliding door while maintaining protection. Whether you're left-hand drive or right-hand drive, our cover offers convenient access points for hassle-free use. About our JK Vehicle Covers – Weather Resistance and Breathability: Our JK van covers are created with high-quality fabric which strikes the perfect balance between weather resistance and breathability. Designed to be shower-resistant, it effectively repels moisture while allowing trapped heat to escape. This dual functionality protects your van against condensation build-up, which can cause problems on the inside and outside of your vehicle.

To find out more about our Bonnet Bras visit visit our Transporter Bonnet Bra page.How to fit a bonnet bra to your VW Transporter Here’s a quick guide to show you how easy it is to protect your Transporter with a bonnet bra. Many van owners face the problem of dealing with stone chips on the front of their vehicles, especially those who log countless miles on the road. Fortunately, there's a simple solution: fitting a Bonnet Bra. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of fitting this protective accessory to your VW Transporter, to help keep your bonnet pristine for years to come. What is a bonnet bra? Before we dive into the fitting process, let's briefly discuss what a bonnet bra is, and how it protects your VW’s front panel. Crafted from durable materials, our range of bonnet bra are designed to shield your bonnet from stone chips, scratches, and other road debris. Whether you're embarking on a long-distance journey or navigating daily commutes, this accessory provides reliable protection, and looks cool! Fitting a bonnet bra to your Transporter Start by parking your van on a flat, clean surface and make sure the front of your vehicle is nice and clean. Gather all necessary tools and lay out the bonnet bra for easy access. Carefully position the bonnet bra on your Transporter’s bonnet panel. Make sure that it covers the whole panel, and is lined up straight. Begin securing the bonnet bra in place by tying the first knot in the corner. Pay close attention to the positioning of the knot, ensuring it comes up on the correct side of the strut to prevent tearing when closing the bonnet. Once the first knot is tied, adjust the bonnet bra to achieve a snug and secure fit. Smooth out any wrinkles or folds to ensure optimal coverage and protection.Depending on the design of the bonnet bra, you may need to fasten additional straps, to keep it securely in place. Once the bonnet bra is securely in place, gently close the bonnet to ensure there is no interference or tension. Adjust as needed to prevent any pulling or tearing.Now that the bonnet bra is fitted securely, take a step back and inspect the overall appearance. Ensure that the bra sits flush against the bonnet and covers vulnerable areas effectively.{{widget type="Magento\CatalogWidget\Block\Product\ProductsList" template="Magento_CatalogWidget::product/widget/content/grid.phtml" anchor_text="" id_path="" show_pager="0" products_count="5" condition_option="sku" condition_option_value="J42349, J42350" type_name="Catalog Products List" conditions_encoded="^[`1`:^[`aggregator`:`all`,`new_child`:``,`type`:`Magento||CatalogWidget||Model||Rule||Condition||Combine`,`value`:`1`^],`1--1`:^[`operator`:`()`,`type`:`Magento||CatalogWidget||Model||Rule||Condition||Product`,`attribute`:`sku`,`value`:`J42349, J42350`^]^]" sort_order="position_by_sku"}}Did you know that our colleagues at Just Kampers Insurance have been offering specialist vehicle insurance since 1998?You can get a great deal on insurance for a huge range of vehicles, from daily drivers to treasured campervans, and everything in between.
