Sprinter Capsules

After reading all the great reviews, I decided to order the rear capsules and give them a try. I’m glad I did because they exceeded my expectations!
Before sending them out for painting, I carefully inspected the parts and was impressed by the excellent finish and overall quality. The installation was incredibly easy, with no modifications, trimming, or adjustments required. Everything was finished properly and ready for paint and installation.
Based on my experience, these rear capsules are absolutely worth it. The quality, finish, and ease of installation speak for themselves. If anyone asked me where to buy rear capsules, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend THE VAN MART!!

Overall the capsules are great and I am glad I purchased them. IMO, they look much nicer than the other brand's bubble-style capsules.

However, some small annoyances:

1. There were a few small craters/holes in the surface of the capsules, about the size of a pea, where there were inconsistencies in the fiberglass casting process. These holes didn't go all the way through, but they were large enough that I worried about water getting into them and freezing and causing bigger problems so I had to fill them with body filler before painting. I feel like this should have been caught during the production process.

2. Why not include the primer? This stuff is hard to find and takes a week+ to deliver from stores online. My Vantek windows came with tubes of the Dow 5504 betabrime, why don't you guys throw this in with the kit? They're like $9 per tube. This was the biggest pain.

3. The little black screws for the window compression flange suck. I was extremely careful during installation, making sure everything was perfectly aligned, hand tightening them by hand with a regular screw driver, and still three of the heads snapped off. I think overall the design of the window flange fastening system should be improved.

Mounted the capsules on my transit xl and they worked perfectly. Of all the items I have done so far on my van build, this one made me the most nervous (cutting big holes in the side). It was actually the easiest part of the build so far. I Raptor lined them and just followed there Youtube video on how to install. If you are nervous, don't be.

Overall the capsules worked out great! Arrived in perfect condition and installation was relatively easy. One of the capsules doesn't follow through contour of the van perfectly, but close enough for the adhesive to make the seal. Though expensive, it appears to be the best option on the market. Definitely recommend 2 people for the install process if possible, even if you are a confident individual 😉

Easy to install and well made. The only thing we wonder is why the reveals don't match the van contours a little better, but it's not problematic.

The install was very straight forward and everything fit great. I was able to do both sides by my self in less than three hours. Be sure to watch the Van Speed capsule install video on YouTube. We got the slider windows too and everything fits perfectly.

I had a great experience all around with Van Mart. I ordered quite a few parts from them for my conversion including capsules. Everything came in on time and dealing with them was seamless. I had the capsules painted by their referral and then had Van Mart install them. Highly recommend them and appreciate all the extra help and efforts by Zach.

So happy to have the extra space in our Ford Transit , long, high roof van. I’m 6’ and have lots of space, but I sleep in the forward side as the side toward the back of the fan is I little tight, my partner is 5’7” and she fits perfectly at the back.
The body shop that did the paint matching said he had to do very little body work before paint compared to other brands he’s worked on. The fitment for the install was really great according to our builder.
I recommend these capsules, the only thing I would pass along is that our FVC low pro ladder did not fit as the capsules are too wide for it.

I'm really satisfied with this product, and thanks to it, my car has been upgraded significantly.

Just installed the transit capsules. Great fit from VanSpeed and the quality appears top notch. The included adhesive is the right amount to get the job done.

I purchased the package that came with CRL windows. I was a little let down on the quality of the window. Some slightly damaged components and difficult to align holes on the retaining ring. Clearly this is not a Vanmart or VanSpeed issue, but I expected more from CRL.

Get the VanSpeed capsules for sure! With the time and money!

If you still hesitate you can just go blindly and buy the capsule, the look is incredible, the finish and details are crazy good, for tall people you can sleep side by side and the customer service is more than excellent.

I really want to mentioned that point (excellent customer service) because it is important to me, the first capsule I received arrived with a little chip in the corner and vanspeed has been super reactive and sent me a new one right away. They are very nice people and they will try hard to fix the issue quickly.

Like I already said go for the capsule. Thank you very much to the team 👍

I ordered the capsules approximately 3.5 weeks ago. They took about 2.5 weeks to get here. I took them to a local body shop to get painted and already picked them back up today. I test fit the capsules to the van and test fit my slider windows as well. The fit was extremely good. I am happy I chose these over some of the competitors out there as they have more room and excellent workmanship. I look forward to installing them this weekend.

These are easily modified to make work with the extended length transit (handheld planer and orbital sander make it easy). Quality is superb and they look fantastic. We are very happy with the extra 6" of bed length that they provide and plan to use them again on our next van build!
