Yes please. Would be appreciated
Totally forgot and we are about to go out now. I’m having a van cleaning day tomoz so I’ll sort the pic tomorrow. Apologies
Thanks, no probs
Hope this gives you an idea, obviously it kicks the pop top hinge up a couple of mm but never been an issue.
Adding here for anyone searching in future.
Got the "Awning Rail for Pop Top Roof" from Camper Essentials and it came with some very detailed instructions, as well as the adhesive, some gloves, screws and even some masking tape. I also got a lengthy response from Sacha on whatsapp to my initial enquiry with lots of info/advice.

Perfect VW T5 Awning Rail for pop top roof. Made to measure and one piece full length. The best, neatest awning rail available. Can be hidden under poptop!

Yesterday I took the roof panels off ready for pop top fitting next weekend. And I attempted to carpet line one of the wheel arches. It’s not pretty but it will be behind furniture so I’m ok with that.
Another Funky Leisure rail trimmed, installed and hidden under an Aurora. Thanks friends!
+1 for the Debus canopy.
I have a west dubs pop top on mine, and just received the funky leisure c channel rail.
Looking at everyone's fitting options, cutting out around the bracket seems like the easiest option, however the bracket on mine takes up a lot of the channel, I don't know if it'll be too weak after taking out so much mounting space.
Would that still work, or should I look at removing the strut brackets and mounting underneath? (Any issues with alignment doing that?)

I have the same set up, west dubs pop top and FL c channel.I notched mine out to fit around the bracket, no way was I undoing that. Took a fair bit of faff after cutting the notch out, filing it so I got a tight fit but it slotted in tight against the pop top bracket and I secured the end at the rear with a self tapper. really solid and I doubt the awning puts that much strain on it anyway even in windy conditions. If it ever stops raining I will take some pics.
Put my mind at ease, that's a job for next (hopefully drier) weekend

Hi,
This is mine from a couple of years ago. Rear is just held on with glue. No issues and had awning up in some windy spots. To help with alignment when sticking I seem to remember having the awning strip in the c channel

Hi, just wondering if you had any joy with fitting yet, as I have exactly the same set up issue. I’m considering mounting underneath the whole bracket because there is no way cutting every thing out to fit round is going to work. But I’d love to know which direction you’re thinking of heading. TIA
I went for the cut out option, sikaflexed into place used the OEM bolt at the front, and ended up using a rivet at the rear. Had the awning attached last week with no issues
