Danbury roof

Post by callyspoy »

Hi folks,
As the new year begins, i am hoping to move onto the roof of our van to "make good".
We have a Danbury side opening roof, as far as i can tell.
Does anybody have pictures of theirs that they are happy to show me? Ours doesn't stay open, only one gas strut is presently fitted.
We also appear to be missing the roof poles. We have front to back poles and i believe all the corner pieces, but none of the poles going from left to right, if that make sense.
Does anybody have any pictures of theirs to see show what i am missing?

Hi Pal,
I private messaged you about it as you had the most in depth post about the Danbury. I didn't want to badger you about it though.
I can post some pictures, but mine doesn't stay up so only a couple of rubbish pictures!

As you can see, needs a bit of love 😂
Should be salvageable though, i think the previous owner didn't open it really in 4 years.
