pop top

Post by **meggles** » 17 Jan 2008, 18:52

Hi, anyone got any clues on how to identify a pop top. All painted with hammerite so no stickers. All I know is it's on an '89 T25 and has a hydraulic strut in each of four corners. A friend want's to buy a complete replacement so needs to identify it. Or can he fit a different one? no pics available at present!
Any help appreciated. He will be buying from here!

though the amount of struts rule out a few

I suggested a high top but he ain't interested

! I am working on him though! No pics yet but I will try to get some. I knew it was a long shot but I also know you all like a challenge

if it hinges from the side with gas struts holding up at the corners, then surely it's a Devon roof...

Any ideas guys as i could be wrong

sorry, read post wrong

Do some of the Remo conversions have a roof which extends up on four gas struts??

it could be a danbury, they have a strut in each corner and a canvas roof, for replacement ring them. they don't have rooves for particular models which is why they don't fit very well but they should be able to supply something of a particular size!

Strut in each corner?
If it's solid sided and lifts vertically it could be a Autohomes Kamper pop top like mine.
If so, your mate needs a high top

Hope this pic helps identify it. More pics available if necessary.

It transpires that he actually just needs a strut or two. He has been told the struts are no longer available so that is why he wants a new top. Anyone able to identify it and know if they are available still.

I can identify that roof as being bloody awful!

Post by **meggles** » 20 Jan 2008, 10:07

I agree, it is a bloody awful roof, but that is not what I asked! May have looked better if it could have been pushed up to it's full extent. (BTW, the marks wash off easily, it was parked under a tree.).

I'd still like to know what type it is!

it is a hard sided version of the one I have. I think the holdsworth villa 3 had those tops.

Thanks for that. I'll try to locate parts now. Glad it's not mine!!!!
