Still having trouble seeing exactly how the actual insulation is held in place at the top ie where it attaches to the actual pop top roof. You say it's bungeed on. Does that mean you've had to add mounting points for the bungees to attach too? As there is nothing on the inside of the fibreglass pop top to attach them too. Any further info would be greatly appreciated. I've found an ebay seller that sells the thermal insulation up to a 2m wide roll which means less sewing

Hi Again. First saw your e mail on this. Here is the reply that I've sent you. Hope it helps. Pete
"Hi Nathan,
If you look at the picture of the rear of our Syncro you will see the red bungee stretched around the bottom of the roof. The thermal material is rigid enough vertically for this to be enough to hold the whole thing in place. The bungee hooks fit in brass ring inserts which the screen came with.
As I said in my original mail, I think Westfalia put press studs on the top front and we are planning on doing this although connecting the press studs up would be a bit of a task as its 8' high when erect!"
