replacing pop-top with high top

[rainman]

Fed up after replacing canvas last year only for it to be mouldy already, I'm thinking of taking off the pop-top and sticking on something like this;

Trouble is I'm not sure how it's supposed to be held on, also will I just be replacing one problem with another? Any thoughts welcome...

Easy install with sikaflex

I'm thinking of doing the same thing.
Is it as easy as putting the roof on and using tiger seal/silkaflex inside and outside of the join all the way round... And that's it?
Would it not require any rivetting to the van in any way?

I did that to my camper, the old pop top roof was leaking and I couldn't get any spares to repair it. I bought a second hand hightop. The only fixings on my roof is Sikaflex and it is solid. And without getting into a pop-top vs hightop debate it is the best thing I done to mine.

Sounds good. I think I'd always be a bit concerned if I just used adhesive though. Not sure if and when I'll get around to it but it's going on my long list of things to do.
