Draught excluder for rear doors

Has anybody managed to make and fit a draught excluder over the gap we’re the rear doors come together on my 2014 Warwick duo on a Peugeot boxer

AS fit them as standard on later vans so parts dept should stock them. They are press studded on I think and match the wall covering.

Thanks for the info

Draughts and carpets

Carpets first, though not asked for!
The one press studded by AS reminded me of the sort of things you granny had just post war! So as we saw no poss need for them in the kitchen area, those are now in the house loft and replaced with, well nothing, the laminate flooring is easy to sweep/wipe clean.
All entrances also have the water absorbent door mats occasionally available in Lidl or similar, easy to clean, and stops water getting off your feet onto the laminate, see pics:-

Now to draughts
You can see that the "lounge" carpet is now a runner bought locally and cheaply, and far more practical then the on your granny had etc. This had some offcuts and as SWMBO is of the Yorkshire breed, the offcuts had to be used.....!

First though is a cover for the rear door handle, as surprising amount of draught come through this and is aimed directly at the head of that bed user's head!

This is permanently in place, the handle works just fine through it.

The rest is self explanatory, except that 10mm x 2mm magnets are glued to the rear of the carpet offcuts and then covered with felt self adhesive discs, until we did this the magnets scratched the door paint. Google "Magnet Expert"

The automatic light in the last pic shows the way to the loo in the night BTW

Hope this helps

Thanks for the ideas will look into your ideas

The 'rubber' magnetic strips people use for holding notes to fridges etc glued to the carpet strips could work as well as/better than those with felt pads?
We find that most of the drafts come from the handle and catch areas so perhaps one need only cover these areas.
Great ideas IanH
Our Topaz carpets were very soft and granny like but our Duetto ones are stiff and wrinkle free though we have removed the plastic table leg socket ring to give a flatter contour.
Previous carpet cutouts were bound round the holes as the edges!
Loose mats on top of the fitted carpets tended to 'Walk' so they went, apart from the one by the sliding door for wiping feet on!!
But we found that for winter use in our Duetto the fitted carpets helped reduce the cold striking up from the floor.

A couple of lengths of swimming aid foam,covered in curtain fabric does the job for us

Hi Paul

Its a lock for the rear doors makes them impossible to open them from outside

If you look at my previous posts there's an article somewhere how I made it, rushing off to ferry now!!

Thanks for the ideas Ianh,went one step further and made a cardboard template for around the lock area and fitted self adhesive magnet on a roll to hold it up,works ok made it in 3 sections to make it easier to fit when required

We use magnetic PVC advertising sheet.  Also for front vents when parked up.
