Although installing our Transit Van Overhead Cabinet can be paired with just about any wall covering, we highly suggest you look at our Transit Van Wall Panel Kit. This wall panel kit has pre-drilled holes that allow you to mount your overhead cabinets to the most secure location inside your van for safety while you tackle those washboard roads or more challenging off-road trails.

Q: Will these cabinets perfectly fit my vehicle?
A: Transit models have a curvature on top and on the rear to match the factory curvature of the vehicle. Note: The primary wiring harness on the driver-side wall will prevent the cabinets from fitting the driver-side wall. The black wiring harness cover needs to be removed before cabinetry installation. The cabinets are all standardized with a cutout on the sidewalls for the wiring harness to fit into. This notch is covered by a very thin layer of veneer that may be cut away to allow space for the wiring harness to pass through.
It is strongly recommended that this cabinet is mounted using rivet nuts as specified by our Installation Guide.
Q: Is the wood color consistent across orders?
A: A lumber pattern is not guaranteed. This comes from raw lumber and varies in tint, shade, and grain. Minor defects in the veneer also occur occasionally, and we make a great effort not to use any lumber with serious flaws.
The ends are made from natural wood, not veneer. For this reason, you may see small gaps (~0.075") at the ends and centers of your cabinet sections. These may be filled with putty, painted over, or ignored.
