Are Remis Van Blinds Really Worth £600 YOU DECIDE! it all really depends of if you think there a good addition for your van .when it comes to the Remis Remi cab blinds for the vw crafter ill have to admit after having fitted them they are something that we would never want to be without.
🚐🚐 How to replace broken window switches video🚐 • How To REPLACE VW Craf...
the ease of use outweighs the awful build quality and the price is way overpriced for what they are, but we saw the Remis blinds on a friend's van and wanted them for ours, we knew what we were buying and just hope we can look after them but we do have a tendency to be heavy-handed and with the Remis Remi cab blinds you need to have a gentle touch, But ill let you decide if the Remis Remi cab blinds are worth the money we spent on them

@kinavans 3 года назад

My Remis blinds were fitted 5 years ago and have stood up to the test of time. Yes it's now a fiddly job if you need to remove the pillar trim but we wouldn't be without them. They stand clear off the windscreen and don't absorb moisture when condensated, however I felt the drivers door blind trim obstructed my view of the standard wing mirror. So after a few scary episodes of blind spot/near miss I fitted an extended arm drivers wing mirror. I'm also sure that the previous owner only paid about £300 for the blinds in 2016. 😲

@UrbanVanlife 3 года назад

Now £300 is a great price . And YES YES YES the placement on the driver side blind dose obstruct the mirror a lot and I’m not happy about that at all . Part of me feels it wouldn’t pass the mot if they bothered to check it . I really think that could be altered

@kinavans 3 года назад

You may well be correct about the MOT and yes, a small shift rearward of the side blind centre upright would be a welcome and safe redesign. My extended arm wing mirror does not look out of place and I'm the only one that notices, it does however make me nervous when meeting oncoming vehicles with big/wide wing mirrors otherwise its the perfect solution to the Remis "blind spot". Thinking about it, I'm sure or European neighbours will have the same issue but on their drivers side. Thanks for all the helpful and entertaining videos BTW. 👍🏻

no mate they are not wet in the mornings to be fair , but still over priced , but equaly as god as well its a hard one cos once you seen them working you want them but then see the price and dont , then starts the battle of should i or not . ill leave others to decide that bud ,

@sussertheoriginal 2 года назад

Read the manual! Yep. My Autotrail had them fitted from new and the person who fitted them either didn't read the manual or deliberately fitted them badly. Once I removed them and fitted them properly they've worked a treat.

@Memyselfandvan 3 года назад

Fitted my two door blinds today, REMis, and agree, quality is shockingly flimsy. I'm not happy with the supplied screws and washers so I'll be added hard foam backing in screw positions, and add better screws and hard plastic washers.

@richardockenden8669 Год назад

Anyone considering buying these blinds should realise that the drivers vision is obstructed by the rhs blind, with them fitted you can only see half of the door mirror unless you lean forward. Thats a real pain.
