    FAQs

      • How does the ceiling kit mount?

      All Ford Transit kits are designed to fit directly to the factory holes in your ceiling. The factory holes will need to be bored out to 3/8" for rivet nut inserts prior to installation. All panels are mounted 0.25" apart and cover the entirety of the ceiling between walls.
       

      • How do I apply stain, finish, or sealer?

      Painting:

      • Lightly scuff the entire surface of the product that you plan on coating with 120-180 grit sandpaper.
      • Apply 2-3 coats of primer before applying your main coat.
      • Always apply a finish when you're happy with the paint for a long-lasting appearance.

      Staining:

      • Sand the surface on all faces with sandpaper traveling with the grain of the wood.
      • Apply stain very cautiously to a section of the product that will not be visible to gauge the volume and pressure you need to achieve the look you want.
      • Apply the stain evenly with a rag, sponge, or spray gun until all surfaces are coated.
      • Please note that overlapping surfaces may make the stain darker on the overlapped areas.
      • Always apply a finish when you're happy with the stain for a long-lasting appearance.

      Other Notes

      • Fan Cutouts, A/C Cutouts, and other cuts are not standard. Please see custom options for more information.
      • This kit is designed to be installed with foam corners installed
      • We can not guarantee consistency in grain or pattern in natural wood colors as they are made from real wood veneer and sometimes nature is inconsistent.
      • 1/2" Plywood panels are plywood with veneer laminate and because of this, grain will be visible on sides between gaps.
      • Panels are not edge banded as more temperate climates may cause adhesive to melt and banding to peel. For this reason, raw wood is visible on sides of panels.
      • Lights are included when choosing the Single or Dual Puck Light option.
      • This kit ships in a box or on a pallet if you have a larger order. 
      • We are not responsible for damages caused by modification of our panels for your own custom additions.
      • If a panel is damaged, we won't make you purchase a new kit. Simply let us know which panel and we can ship a replacement!
