JK Poptop fabric replacement

Post by lbyford »

Hello

I have a Reimo with Flat poptop roof which AFAICS is very similar in construction to the Westy roof. Not that I have examined a westy roof from inside when raised. Externally they look the same when raised.

Has anyone changed their Westy/ Reimo poptop fabric? If so how complex is it. I realise the roof probably needs to come off the van initially - so a summer activity.

Does anyone know if the JK Westy one would fit the Reimo design? I have not asked JK yet tbh.

Any advise greatly received.

I've got this roof. I've not changed the canvas though. T'Onion had plans to at one point with his - I think?

You could try Reimo - not the one in Manchester - I've tried them twice for stuff and found them to be rude and unhelpful.

Try http://www.conceptmulti-car.co.uk/ Who are also Reimo agents. They are very helpful and polite!
