Flea-bay - last time i looked there were a few. Depending on what you have i.e. high roof/pop top - you want the ones which have come either a high or semi high roof van e.g transist.

Alternativily you could go to halfords - but they are a bit pricey

Have almost brought a 3 man Canadian Canoe

but they are heavy, has anyone else out there put any heavy weight on there pop top and do you think you could raise the roof with the Canoe on top?

When you say "flex" what do you mean, in the fibre glass roof?

Flex in the roofbar. - mainly because the bars are on their maximum extension to fit the width of the van. Aint no big deal though.
