Side protection bars for VW T7 Transporter from 2024
The side protection bars for the VW T7 Transporter were specifically designed to protect the lower side area of the vehicle against loading and manoeuvring damage. In daily commercial use, damage to the side sills often occurs when loading through the sliding door with forklifts or pallet trucks.
The strong stainless steel construction helps effectively protect the vehicle body against scratches, dents and impact damage. At the same time, the protection bars enhance the overall appearance of the VW T7 with a more robust and high-quality look.
A major advantage is that the individual tubes can be replaced separately if necessary, helping to reduce repair and replacement costs.
