Mackyjane Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 We are lucky enough to be changing our 2005 ducato van for a 2015 one. Does anyone know if our old silver screens will fit or do we need to splash out on new? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 ‘Silver screens’ for a 2005 Ducato will NOT be suitable for a 2015 Ducato. A caveat... In mid-2014 the Fiat Ducato X250 range was superseded by the X290 range and - although the windscreen itself did not change - the ‘scuttle’ area at the base of the windscreen was altered for X290s. This advert for TaylorMade products https://taylormade-covers.co.uk/product-category/external-windscreen-covers/ shows pictures of screen-covers for Ducatos 2005-2015 (X250) or 2015-Present (X290) It’s not uncommon for people to identify the age of their motorhome using the year when the vehicle was first UK-registered. This generally does not matter, but can when there’s a major design change. It’s likely that your 2015 Ducato is an X290 model, but you’d need to confirm this if (say) you chose a TaylorMade cover. Discriminating between a Ducato X250 van and a Ducato X290 van is visually straightforward as the headlamp shape differs significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Derek Uzzell - 2019-11-23 8:09 AM shows pictures of screen-covers for Ducatos 2005-2015 (X250) or 2015-Present (X290) Derek, a little (I'm sure unintentional) typo there, which may serve to confuse given the OP's current 'van. The Ducato X250 was introduced in late 2006 (in motorhome terms, 2007, as in fact the Taylormade website notes ) so not 2005 as above. A word of advice to the OP; If you are buying and you have Remis cab blinds fitted in the new 'van, make sure you buy a version that has deeper over-door pockets such that they fit. The design of these blinds changed in 2010, and they require a different pocket design where the screens are fitted over the upper door corners. Both Taylormade and Silverscreens offer this as a (free, I think) option on their blinds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackyjane Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Thanks for the replies. I didn't think the old ones would fit. I'll have to do a bit more research before buying! Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Robinhood Yes, my "2005-2015” should have read “2007-2015” as stated in the TaylorMade advert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
