Here's a few pics

The front of it is resting on the shelves, it won't move, I could hardly budge it to put the rubber weather stripping between it and the shelf it's sitting on. I'll get some pics later

Ya, I took the plastic piece off and from the top of the steel divider, the new ceiling lines up with the three shelves in the headliner. I cut some white Masonite to fit the new ceiling dimensions, then glued birch 1x4's to the top of it (so there are no screws showing from below). A layer of Dynomat, two layers of foil insulation and another piece of white Masonite for the top that is screwed to the 1x4s The back end of the ceiling is screwed to the top of the partition, the front and sides are not attached and are sitting on rubber weather stripping for a couple of reasons, I know the body is going to flex some and I didn't want to screw into anything that would show if I ever took it out For the partition wall, I used white Masonite and cut a couple of pieces to cover the holes in the partition then cut 1x4's and screwed them in from the ends. Dynomat, insulation and another layer of Masonite. I put the 1x4s where I knew my BoBo wire rack would be mounted. Then I cut a few pieces of Masonite into the corners to finish sealing the cab up. I used some 2x2 aluminum "L" to finish the corners off and cover up the fact that I'm not a carpenter In 15 degree weather, the cab heats up in minutes and you can barely hear anything from the back. It took more time to figure it out than it did to do it. You might be interested in my pipe rack. I had some 10"x4" wireway left over from a job so I used 10' of it on the floor, cut through the partition and extended it under the drivers seat to carry 10' conduit inside. I put Dynomat on it also. For scrap conduit I used a 5' section of the same wire way and installed it on top of the longer one. I put a hinged cover on the end to remove short pieces of conduit that will get stuck at the end of it It's been great so far, the Nissan service guys were even impressed :)

Yesterday I finally resolved my remote issue (keyless entry never worked), it seems that when Nissan built the NV they neglected to install the remote receiver module which explains why the remotes wouldn't work. I'm not sure how that got through QC! The NV is way more comfortable than the Sprinter, the Sprinter has the classic big van driving position with the steering with being practically horizontal. It does have better visibility with the shorter nose and much higher seating position though

I've got 180,000 miles on the Sprinter, parts are too expensive for it and there's only one place that works on them, so it will be up for sale soon. The NV was really my only other choice, a new Sprinter is 42 grand, the Dodge Promaster was too ugly, made by Fiat and front wheel drive, if the new Ford was available I would have taken a serious look at it, I'm happy with the NV though

I'm the new owner of "Brian" as my wife calls it (since it does look just like Brian from the Family Guy), I'm using it for my electrical contracting business. I'm moving from a 2003 Sprinter so its a little smaller but I've overcome that so far. I do have one problem though, my door lock remotes have never worked from the day I bought it. The dealer hasn't been able to repair them and has called Nissan for assistance, anyone else have this problem?

It looks like I had the same idea as you. I removed the cheap plastic partition and installed a new ceiling and covered the existing metal partition with white Masonite, dynomat, two layers of thin foil insulation and white Masonite again. The cabin warms up a lot quicker and it's odd how quiet it is :)
