Which Pop-Top?

Apparently the paint fades after a few years which would drive me nuts
What's a few? My Westdubs is 3 years old now and absolutely no signs of fading.
@Adscan. Other then doing some minor damage to the canvas caused by my own stupidity (which was fairly easily repaired), the only problem that I've had wasn't with the roof as such - the little rubber 'spoiler' stuck to the roof of the van in front of the pop top started coming off and as we were on the road down the South of France at the time, I just pulled it off rather than leave it flapping around or stuck down with gaffer tape. When we got home, I called Westdubs for a replacement which they said they would send free of charge but also offered to fit it for me if I wanted to drive to them. Personally, I reckon that's pretty good customer service as it had been on the van for over 2 years by then.
My van is being done by coast to coast campers and they recommended west dubs over some of the other more expensive options. They look well made in the vans I looked at. I went for standard gel coat though as they did say the paint will fade, but I think I will get it protected with a marine ceramic coating.
I contacted Vanmax, as this is the nicest looking LWB pop top i have seen, but sadly they have dropped the LWB and only offer a SWB now....
The search continues.....

HVR customs had some stock a while back, not sure whether they have any left. They fitted my Vanmax and I think its a good roof but I am SWB
thanks @airhoguk i will give them a try....
I’ve just had a Storm pop top fitted by Cosmic Campers in Derby and I’m really pleased with it.

Thank you for your kind words John, it was a pleasure to complete the pop top install for you
Send us some photo's when you're out and about! <3Mate I've just been to see Luke at (goose roofs) down in East Sussex and he’s just about to release a new roof to market that will blow the rest out the water amazing construction very high end
its a low roof like Hilo and as high when elevated and has a panoramic roof just amazing I’ve just ordered one
after seeing it just unbelievable construction,if you zoom in on pic your see what I mean.
Is that the only pic you have? Do you have a link to his website please?
Hi mate he’s not even out there yet I heard through the dub world and got a number for him went along and honestly mate blown away by the workmanship 4 weeks and mine will be in this lad is a technical engineer that worked on red bull Rallycross cars,,went in his workshop and to make the parts for his roofs he’s designed and made his own bespoke 3 meter CNC machine
So when you say panoramic roof, is that large centre area in the actual pop top going to be a panoramic panel?
Have to say that sounds awesome. I assume that there’s some internal screen to stop you waking up at 5am with a face full of sunlight.
Can’t wait to see one fitted.
Is it electric to raise/lower?
Fitted black out blind and on gas rams he said electric would be an option later down the line
