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.
