Horizon pop top

We had a Horizon roof fitted in November when we had our full conversion. This was fitted by Jacks Shack based in Kegworth. They are authorised installers and completed this work at Horizons headquarters which was great for me as it meant it was fully overseen by their technicians.
I'm very happy with the workmanship. We've not noticed any issues with it but have only had it open a couple of times and have not slept in it yet. It does take a little work when putting down and making sure the fabric is all tucked in and the catch is securely closed etc. but I'm sure this will become easier with practice. We had our first night away in the van this weekend and as it was just an overnight pubstop didn't bother putting the roof up.
It looks awesome as far as I'm concerned and I'm sure time will tell how good it actually is!!!

Not much chat on this regards the Horizon roofs, I'm also thinking of getting one, saw them at NEC and was impressed. Couple of questions, can the DAB roof aerial mounted just behind top of the front windscreen be relocated onto the pop top, and also wiring for this and the solar, required in future, do these wires get routed up inside the concertina support brackets?
Markymark59, sorry just saw your post.
Regarding the DAB aerial, I believe that the receiver is now located somewhere in the dashboard. Stereo reception does not seem to have suffered due to the relocation.
I had the roof up at the weekend for the first time proper. I did notice the wiring from the solar panel appeared to be running inside, right at the rear of the pop top so guess its all rooted through the inside of the van.

The DAB aerial is in the drivers door mirror so that won't have been touched at all.. The thing on the roof is the SOS system.
