  View original topic: replacing the steps on 90 vanagon

Hello everyone,
Both on the driver and passenger side steps by the wheel well when you open the door have wholes rotting through them and I was wondering if they sold precut replacements for this or do I need to just get the steel myself and cut it. I would be nice if they already had them cut. Thanks in advance for you help.

They do make a replacement piece but you end up having the same seam that traps water and is the reason why they rust out in the first place. Look at Bus Depot or OE VEEDUB.They last longer if you use a solid piece of sheet metal and treat the welds with a good two part epoxy seam sealer and then with a product such as hard line or an equivalent.

Thank you so much.
