Is the roof carpet? We are looking to lighten up our van by changing the roof carpet to lighter colour
AbsoluT5 carpet lining
- Thread starter Absolut5
- Start date
We very rarely carpet the ceiling for that reason, it’s very close to the cab ceiling, brushed nylon

That’s a HiLo right? Looks better finished than mine around the internal ceiling frame, who fitted yours?

Yea and you can remove the OE lights and rewire the 6 led Lights so they work with the door/off and on
Yep - that's a HiLo but not actually mine - just another van that the same company did. Mine is currently with Jason at Jaibow at the moment for HiLo install. Planning to try and do a full review when I get the van back and can take some photos etc. I've been thoroughly impressed by Jaibow's work and attention to detail. Spot on so far! Can't wait to have the HiLo ready for when lockdown ends!!

I was very pleased with my install, but the last 2% of finishing details on mine is a bit rough, that looks excellent on yours.
Might give them a call and see how I could try and tidy up my couple of issues.
I’ve been to Jaibow a few times. He is a nice guy and from what I have seen his work is first class.

Shame he’s miles away from me, the more I look at that roof trim the more it makes mine look pretty poor.
Yes it’s a long way. But is rpthat fuel cost significant compared to the cost of a Hilo for a spot on finish?

A bit too far, but I see there’s a HiLo fitter about an hour away now, might nip down and say hi and see what they think. I could do the finishing myself, just need a couple of pointers.
@Insert Coin - to be fair - I bet @Absolut5 would be a great shout if you did need some re trimming.

Actually yes, that’s a good point, they did my Ice install and their work is excellent for sure.
My worst issue is that there’s a big wiring loom at the rear of the van and although the metal framework for the roof is square, the trim around the edge at the rear is wonky due to the loom. I don’t know why I’ve only just noticed it, the roof was fitted two years ago.
I’ll definitely get it looked at when lockdown is over and I can talk to someone without looking like Bane.

This is REALLY interesting that you say this. Jason from Jaibow contacted me on Friday as he was having to do a bit of bespoke work due to the hefty wiring loom (partly down to some 240 sockets at the rear) and therefore he’s adapting the HiLo roof boards to make it fit neatly. Sounds like exactly what you’re saying...
...- I’m confident that @Absolut5 would be able to do the same thing having used him myself. I’ll try and stick some pics up when mine is done.

I’ll grab a photo of mine tomorrow and you’ll see what my issues are and hopefully yours won’t have them.

That looks great, I think with mine you’ll be able to make good with what’s already there, it’s only the rear section that needs tweaking. I’ll get some photo’s today.
Absolut5 fitting HiLo roofs would be a great string to your bow.

Ok, so here's where the rear section is sticking out proud due to the loom above it. I swear it's got worse over time, I just don't remember it always being like that from collection.
