pop top

So the van build planning took a break for a while but back on it, currently pondering the idea of if I find a decent kombi van with rear ac vents how difficult is it to reroute ducting and wiring once pop top is fitted, similar to that of a cali, I'm stuck on wanting a lwb or I think I probably...

I'm having some issues with my Skyline Aurora roof. My view is that the latches are not fit for purpose and the roof installation was not been carried out correctly. To help 'prove' this and progress a claim against Skyline / Installer I have been advised that I need to get a copy of an...

Further to my recent post - windscreen insurance claim - I've booked through my insurers to have a new screen fitted next week, but have just noticed that the pop top roof has a rubber deflector strip bonded half to the screen and half to the metalwork above. Anyone have experience of removing...

Hi all. Looking for your wisdom. We brought a t6 edition kombi in cherry Red this summer and have finally got the cash to have a pop top. I was going to go for black as it would work well with the edition decals but the fitter advised grey as they thought the black would be too dark on the...

Hi, I've looked at several T6 conversions now and there is a fairly large difference in internal head height with the pop tops down when I sit on the back seat. I'm 6 foot 4 and on some vans I can't sit up at all whereas on others I can just about. This is even with the same seats (RIB 130CM)...

Hi, I’m looking to have a pop top fitted on my SWB van but I’m thinking about keeping it the gel coat gloss black but not sure whether it will compliment the look of the van or indeed look like an added extra on my silver T6? If anyone has any pictures I would appreciate a look and also I have...

Bought to convert to full camper, but half way through the missus says its too small for us :mad:! Just needs side furniture and rock and roll bed to complete. Can be done for under £4k. 66k miles. Full VW service history (last one completed October 2023). VW “All-in” service and warranty...

Hi I’m having an issue with the front interior light staying on. The light illuminates when the door is unlocked, but stays on while driving. After stopping it goes off after about 10 minutes. Is this likely a grounding issue or switch in the door or handle? Same on all doors btw, so...

Morning all! Whilst during last night my kids noticed a big drip of water coming from the sliding hatch to access the pop top. Suspected the roof rail after reading some posts on here (thanks ). Have inspected this morning and as I slid the hatch open a lot of water came down. Sure enough the...

Does anyone have any experience of changing their current pop top for another make/model? I currently have a HiLo Surf (touch wood it’s been fine) however am looking into the future and am considering a more manageable option.. I have recently seen a side pop top on a Bilbos conversion (pic...

Hiya, looking for advise on how to repair minor worn areas on the material on my pop-up. The material is starting to wear where it rubs on both external hinges and against areas of the cabin opening. I’ve heard Tear-Aid might be a good option. A heads-up would be really appreciated. Rob

Hi. Anyone know how much I trim off before carpeting?

We want to buy and have fitted a Fiamma Wind Out canopy to our T6.1 LWB van. We have had a pop top fitted. What, apart from the canopy, do we need to be able to have it fitted? TIA

On a dull Teams call the other day I was staring out the window and my eyes settled on the van’s poptop on the drive. Looked like a strange surface finish. Flat and a bit dull. I’ve not touched it since June and never noticed it before. Took it to France in July and we’ve had the ‘heat’ of...

What are peoples solutions to putting lighting in the poptop, hard wired, where do you put the switch?

Hi friends I'm looking for a solution to cover the pop top material when its down..I seem to find it gets in the way /view when driving and looks a bit messy too. I'm sure I'd seem a solution on some at the campervan show at NEC last year. A simple nice looking bit of material (I think leather...

I'm having a pop top installed soon and I'd like to have LED strip lights running along the length of the pop top, either side, once installed. My question is will I need to do any wiring for the LEDs prior to this or can it be achieved neatly after the fitting of the pop top?

Does anyone know how these are bolted on and what to? One of mine has a bit of movement in it, nothing major and it doesn’t sit straight when roof is strapped down as that side needs to be quite tight for the roof to be fully closed. Planning to get it checked out at some point but trying to...
