Glider kits

In B.C., glider kits need a B.C. Assigned Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), even if the manufacturer has provided a VIN.

According to Transport Canada, a legitimate glider kit is an assemblage of parts consisting of the following newly manufactured components:

  1. Chassis

  2. Complete cab assembly (windshield, instrument panel, custom-built interior, new hood, fenders and bumpers)

  3. Steering axle assembly (wheel ends, brakes, wheels and tires)

  4. Other minor parts such as wiring harnesses, mounting hardware, brackets and fasteners

A legitimate glider kit does not include any of the following newly manufactured major drivetrain components:

  • Engine

  • Transmission

  • Rear drive axle(s)

How to apply for a B.C. Assigned VIN for glider kits

Customers must provide the following documentation:

  1. Proof the kit was properly imported

  2. Proof of ownership of the donor vehicle(s) and/or drivetrain components

  3. Proof of used condition of the drivetrain component parts

  4. Application for B.C. Assigned VIN
