Hi,
Can someone please tell me if I need the fibreglass bottom bit (the frame like bit which fits to the roof) is it required to fit a Devon type top. I've just received a poptop roof but don't have the bottom bit which it fits over.
Devon roof switch on Autohomes hightop.

Re: Devon roof switch on Autohomes hightop.
The fibreglass frame is where the bellows fit to, and tidies up the edge of the cut roof. If you were to build a timber frame or similar to take its place, it could work, but you definitely need something to lift the bellows up a couple of inches, or it won't work when you open the roof...

Ok,
Hopefully the existing wooden base won't need too much modifying. I expect I can knock something up. Thanks
