This is probably the easiest section of any vehicle manufactured. It has only the A & B pillar moldings and is so short it can be removed by one person. The material is readily available even at hoby stores. A novice would have an easy go at it.

If your van is gray they are very common. Tan much less common.
Along the same general thread...I am working on taking my van apart to do some soundproofing and carpet replacement. Where is a good source for all the push-pin thingies? I have searched a couple salvage yards and most are broken. I don't even know what to google on some of them...

Anyone have success finding the pins for the roof as well as the ones with the little screws in them at the door thresholds? There has to be a supply of millions of those things somewhere...

There is a wide selection on Amazon. You can find it cheaper probably on ebay but returns are much easier with amazon.

I bought a kit with a wide assortment of clips and retainers a few years ago and it still comes in handy. If you can't find an exact replacement you usually can find one that will work. It is currently unavailable but many others are.

Most larger body shops have a large assortment of these. They might sell you a dozen or so.
