Post by annavr6@vwheritage »

Anyone know what pop top this is.

Hi Anna,you served me with the T2 arches at work last week,glad to see you got your van home ok and it looks pretty sound :ok ,now I've seen the front of the van I've seen these pop tops before,I believe it should have another bit above the cab,if you go on google and type in vw t25 pop top types and look on images there are some vans on there with very similar roofs, 1 appears on camper vans for sale website so maybe you can contact the owner for info,cheers Paul

Hi Anna,I don't think you'll have anything missing inside the pop top as that front scoop bit is more like an aerodynamic spoiler than an actual working part of the roof,I believe you said that the roof came off a van in the breakers so i suppose the owner of your van may not have got that part when he bought it,you may be able to adapt the front part of a westfalia roof instead as they come up on ebay every now and then and will be easier to obtain than the bilbos roof you have,cheers Paul

i guess he left the front part off due to it having a sunroof.

ahh good to know what it is
