Fitting a new pop top roof

Post by richsmith2424 »

Hi, hoping you can help.
My 1982 T25 has, for some reason, a wooden pop top roof which I'm looking to change to fibreglass. Does anyone have any experience of changing their roof themselves?
I've found a company that will provide the roof, but none of the fixtures of fittings. Looks like getting the canvas is easy enough, but I'm not sure about all the fittings and whether I can do it myself. I found a company here that provides a pop top roof (http://www.shapesgrp.co.uk/vw-t4-t25-ca ... -top-roofs" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). My camper roof currently pops at the front, not the side.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated :-)
Thanks

Located on the south coast (near Brighton) but moving to Shropshire in a month or two so can do the work in either location as I can leave the camper down here.

Ha, tell me about it. Wish I could share the photos but can't reduce the file size enough to attach the images. Max 144kb is a tiny file size.

Cheers

I fitted a small pop up roof they supplied everything pop rivets screws the timber for the trim around the hole cut out and carpet to trim the cutout.
Plus all templates.
