Moved over from the old style vito, was insulated for camping and in the winter it heats up fast.
The new van has metal clips to hold the grab handles, old one was user friendly as the grab handles in the roof lining screwed in. Problem is getting out the clips as they are almost ruined removing the grab handles.
MB say they are not a spare as the clip is shaded on the printout and, part of the grab handle now
An expensive way to insulate roof lining as you need 4 new grab handles.
 
Hmm interesting. Our W639 has 2-tier caging for the dogs in the back, and that bolts into the rear grab handle points at the top (and two of the lashing eye points at the bottom) so no mods are needed to the van. Shame the W447 is different.
 
I'm pretty sure that even if you insulate up to & around the grab handles it will be more than sufficient to help keep the van warm.. but does seem a shame that they are using a different system on the grab handles..
