But if you need the whole skylight kit, which it sounds like, check out the Gunzl website. They have a T3 westie section. You will need to drill out the holes in the Perspex skylight for the screw holes. That will need measuring carefully to ensure you set it up correctly. I suggest that you link up with someone else who has a westie pop top and measure up and see how it all fits together.
:ok

Thanks, the skylight itself is ok, a fairly new replacement fiamma one. But the last owners bodged up the fitting ( I think it is slightly larger than the original Devon roof one) and despite removing it, cleaning the sealant off and refixing with loads of sikaflex it just doesn't last more than a few months before starting to leak again. Obviously we aren't capable of doing a long term job of it! :( Is there anyone in Hampshire/Sussex area can help us? Willing to travel further if needs be though to get it fixed once and for all.

Yep we have the Westfalia sky lights made from the original mold as well as well as all the covers in both colours, seals, lifter arms, full fitting kits etc. We sold all our lifter arms and seals almost as soon as we received them but we have some more due this week ready for dispatch. We are the cheapest in the UK and Europe and our stock is here with us in the UK so your not stung with nasty import duty and expensive postage as we have all ready paid it.
