Replacing a pop top roof?

Post by **rufusontour** » 23 Jun 2008, 08:57

Hi I'm looking at replacing my pop top roof on my 1980 t25, its got a bar you just push up and its stands up then using that. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy material for this and on a step by step on how to do it? if so how hard is it? I know involves wood bracing it to the bottom of the roof just unsure on how to deattach it from the top more than anything ect.. Many thanks Alvin

ummm...maybe a piccy or two to identify the roof...or visit campershop (google it for the website) and have a look at their canvases....

think you may be talking westfalia or the like, as they have a bar to push.

Not the easiest job in the world, but members have done it!

Welcome to the club, by the way.

Hi Did this job myself couple of months ago if you are talking about renewing canvas only get ready for the nightmare to come the best advice I can give you is to take roof off camper they can be very tight to fit.

What about Campershop? They do the roof canvas.
