Do any of you guys have a Leisure drive poptop? How do you get on with it? Does it leak? Is it noisy when driven or when up camping? In fact any info on these would be good. Oh and how much would you expect to pay for one?
Thanks Steve

LD flip top
I've got one. Don't know if it's noisy - only one I've known! I think the rubber seal round the bottom edge causes a bit of wind roar at motorway speeds and when camping and it's windy the canvas can flap a bit if it's gusty but I have a stick to help tension it that helps. The stick was originally to help the gas-struts hold the roof up when our canoe is on top.
The skylight flange had leaked/was leaking when we got the bus five odd years ago - I stripped it off and rebedded with some good urethane goo - no probs since.
Roofs seem to go for £100 to £200 ish - depends on type, condition etc etc...
